Huff started at catcher and went 1-for-3 with a walk in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Astros.

Huff made his first appearance since being called up Monday. He could get ample opportunities over the final weeks of the season, as it appears Jonah Heim has hit a wall, batting just .067 (3-for-44) over his last 16 games.

Bethancourt went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Tuesday against the Red Sox.

Bethancourt took Eduard Bazardo yard in the sixth inning to tally his 10th home run of the season. That continued his recent binge of power, as he now has five homers across his last 11 starts. Also of note, Bethancourt started at first base over Ji-Man Choi, and he could pick up extra plate appearances moving forward if that usage continues. For the season, Bethancourt has a .240/.275/.403 line across 277 plate appearances.

Bart (concussion) went 1-for-3 with a pair of strikeouts in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Dodgers.

Bart missed the minimum seven days after entering the concussion protocol last Monday. Now that he's healthy again, he should retake the No. 1 catcher job for the Giants. He had a strong August, slashing .328/.371/.517 with three home runs, seven RBI, six runs scored and two doubles in 18 contests, so he'll look to pick up where he left off.

Raleigh went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the White Sox.

Raleigh continued his recent power surge with his eighth-inning blast. Over his last seven contests, he's gone 7-for-22 (.318) with five homers, 11 RBI and eight runs scored. The catcher's breakout season has him up to a .210/.283/.492 slash line with 23 long balls, 54 RBI, 40 runs scored, a steal, 18 doubles and one triple through 102 games.

Bart (concussion) was reinstated from the 7-day injured list and is starting behind the plate and batting seventh Tuesday against the Dodgers, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Bart passed the concussion tests over the weekend and is back Tuesday after spending the minimum of seven days on the injured list. Andrew Knapp was designated for assignment in a corresponding move to clear space on the active roster.

Stallings isn't in the lineup Tuesday against the Phillies.

Stallings has a lowly .465 OPS over the last three weeks. His consistent struggles at the plate have cost him significant playing time and have opened the door for rookie backstop Nick Fortes, who will fill in for Stallings on Tuesday and bat sixth in the order.

Haase is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels.

Haase is slashing .188/.188/.250 over the past week and has seen his OPS slowly decline below .700 as a result. He has split time behind the plate all season with Tucker Barnhart, who will get the start Tuesday and bat eighth in the lineup.

Nola is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Nola is 0-for-13 over the past seven days and will get Tuesday off to regroup. Jorge Alfaro will take over behind the plate after coming off the injured list and bat ninth.

D'Arnaud is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the A's.

D'Arnaud posted a 1.145 OPS over his last eight games, but manager Brian Snitker wanted to get fellow backstop William Contreras a start with Ronald Acuna holding down the designated hitter spot, so d'Arnaud will open Tuesday's contest on the bench.

Jansen is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Orioles.

Jansen is hitting .258 with two home runs and one steal in his last 10 games. Alejandro Kirk is starting behind the dish while Vladimir Guerrero shifts to designated hitter and Cavan Biggio starts at first base.
