Quero (shoulder) was activated off the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Nashville on Thursday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Quero was not even two weeks into a projected 3-to-4 week absence with a mild left shoulder sprain, so he appears to have recovered much faster than anticipated. The 22-year-old has slashed .259/.333/.362 with two home runs in 30 games with Nashville this year.

Murphy isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against Miami.

Murphy will get a day to regroup Thursday after going 1-for-17 to begin the month of August. Drake Baldwin will get the starting nod at catcher while Murphy sits, and Marcell Ozuna will serve as Atlanta's designated hitter.

Stephenson is not in the lineup for Thursday's tilt in Pittsburgh.

It appears to be a routine day off for Stephenson, who had started five of the previous seven contests. Jose Trevino will do the catching and bat eighth in Thursday's series opener.

Adams went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Athletics.

Adams launched homer No. 7 on the campaign Wednesday. As long as Keibert Ruiz (concussion) remains on the injured list, the 29-year-old Adams has a much clearer pathway to fantasy relevance and is worth a look in deeper leagues for those in need of help at catcher. Over his last 12 games (40 plate appearances), Adams is slashing .250/.325/.556 with three round trippers, two doubles and six RBI.

Baldwin is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

With southpaw Jose Quintana taking the hill for Milwaukee, the left-handed-hitting Baldwin will head to the bench for the series finale. Sean Murphy will get the nod behind the dish and Marcell Ozuna will crack the lineup as Atlanta's designated hitter.

Millas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

Riley Adams will get the nod behind the plate Wednesday, but Millas may have made a case for turning the Nationals' catcher spot into more of a timeshare until Keibert Ruiz (concussion) returns from the injured list. Millas started behind the plate in both of the previous two games and went a collective 4-for-8 with two doubles, two RBI and two runs. He now owns a .367 average and .467 slugging percentage over 33 plate appearances in the majors this season.

Pozo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

Pozo will take a seat for the day game after he went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored while catching all eight innings of the Cardinals' 12-6 loss Tuesday night. Pedro Pages will handle catching duties Wednesday, and he and Pozo have now alternated starts behind the plate over the last six contests.

Goodman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

He'll be getting a routine breather for the matinee contest after going 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk, two RBI and two runs while catching all nine innings of the Rockies' 10-4 loss Tuesday night. Braxton Fulford will get the nod at catcher in the series finale.

Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Wednesday that he expects Amaya (oblique) to return from the 60-day injured list ahead of the team's series in Toronto early next week, Mike McGraw of the Chicago Daily Herald reports.

Amaya has been shelved since May 25 due to a left oblique strain but is nearing the finish line in his recovery after he was cleared to begin a rehab assignment July 22. After spending the first three games of his assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League, Amaya has moved up to Triple-A Iowa for his last six contests and has gone 5-for-16 with a 2:4 BB:K and no extra-base hits during that stretch. Once he's reinstated from the IL, Amaya will likely displace Reese McGuire as the top backup to No. 1 catcher Carson Kelly.

Baldwin went 2-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Tuesday's loss to the Brewers.

Starting at DH and batting third, Baldwin continued to rack up hits. Over 16 games since the All-Star break, the rookie catcher is slashing .293/.359/.397 with six doubles and nine RBI, but his last home run came back on July 9.
