Contreras is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

Contreras started the first two games in New York but will take a seat for the finale after going 2-for-7 with a solo home run. Andrew Knizner will step in behind the plate and bat eighth.

Gomes is not in the lineup for Sunday's tilt versus the Orioles, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Gomes went 1-for-3 with a double and a run scored in the 3-2 win over Baltimore on Saturday, but he'll take a seat for the series finale. Miguel Amaya will handle backstop duties and hit eighth.

Tromp was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.

The 28-year-old had a month-long stint in the majors earlier this year and went 2-for-16 in six games. Tromp will rejoin the club Sunday as catching depth ahead of the series finale against the Rockies since Sean Murphy is dealing with a hamstring injury.

Murphy was diagnosed with inflammation in his right hamstring Sunday and is expected to be held out of the lineup for at least the next couple days, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

The 28-year-old was removed from Saturday's win over the Rockies due to hamstring tightness, but it appears he's avoided a serious injury and may not require a trip to the injured list. Travis d'Arnaud should step in as the club's primary backstop as Murphy continues to be evaluated over the next few days. Chadwick Tromp was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett for catching depth ahead of Sunday's series finale versus Colorado.

Sabol is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's contest versus the Dodgers.

Sabol is out of the lineup for a second consecutive game with Michael Conforto, Luis Matos and Mike Yastrzemski making up the Giants' outfield against the Dodgers and Bobby Miller on Saturday. Sabol has hit just .194 with a .568 OPS thus far in June over 31 at-bats, and he may see less playing time with those three assumed to be the starting group at the moment.

Atlanta manager Brian Snitker told reporers after Saturday's win over the Rockies that Murphy is undergoing an MRI on his right hamstring at a local hospital, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Murphy was pulled after limping down the first base line on a ball he hit to the wall in center. Snitker told reporters that the team would offer an update on Murphy's status after more is learned Saturday night. For now, the 28-year-old should be considered day-to-day.

Murphy was removed from Saturday's game against the Rockies due to right hamstring tightness.

Murphy was pulled after limping back to first base on a line drive he hit to the wall in center field. The severity of Murphy's hamstring injury remains unknown, but he will presumably undergo some tests, which will provide more information in the near future. Until then, he should be considered day-to-day.

Contreras isn't in the Brewers' lineup Saturday against Pittsburgh.

Contreras is 3-for-17 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored over his last five contests. He'll sit Saturday in favor of Victor Caratini, who holds a 1.033 OPS since the beginning of June and will bat eighth.

Ruiz isn't starting Saturday against the Marlins, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Keibert has gone 6-for-21 at the plate with a homer, three RBI and two runs scored across his last five games and will get a breather Saturday. Riley Adams will take Ruiz's place behind the dish and bat seventh.

D'Arnaud went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in Friday's 8-1 win over the Rockies.

He took Dinelson Lamet deep for a two-run shot in the first inning and then did it again in the third, giving d'Arnaud the 100th and 101st homers of his career. The 34-year-old backstop has four homers and 14 RBI in 25 games this season, with three of those long balls coming in his last five starts, and his .281/.340/.461 slash line has him on pace for his highst OPS since he rang up a career-best .919 mark in 2020.
