Stallings is not in the lineup for Sunday's game at San Diego, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Stallings started the past two games and will head to the bench for the series finale Sunday afternoon. Payton Henry will start at catcher in his place.

Ruiz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Ruiz started the past three games and will sit for Sunday's day game. Riley Adams will work behind the plate in his place, forming a battery with Erick Fedde.

Bart is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Bart started the past two games and will take a seat for Sunday's series finale. He went 3-for-4 against the Nationals on April 29 but is otherwise hitless in his past 12 games. Curt Casali will work behind the plate and bat ninth in his place.

Maldonado is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Maldonado will be getting some routine maintenance after he started at catcher each of the past three days. Jason Castro will relieve Maldonado behind the plate in the series finale.

Jeffers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

With the Twins and Athletics wrapping up their series with a day game, Jeffers will be getting a breather after he was behind the dish for Saturday's 1-0 win. Gary Sanchez will spell Jeffers at catcher, working in a battery with starting pitcher Chris Paddack.

Diaz is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Diaz started the first two games of the series and will take a seat after going 1-for-7 with a walk and two strikeouts. Dom Nunez will start behind the plate in his place for the series finale.

Haase is starting at catcher and batting eighth in Sunday's game against the Astros.

Tucker Barnhart will get the Sunday afternoon game off after starting Saturday night's contest. Haase has not been able to recapture last season's magic, as he's slashing just .140/.229/.233 across 43 at-bats. That should keep Barnhart in the lineup most days, and Haase doesn't figure to have a ton of fantasy value unless he gets going at the plate and can earn more playing time.

Barnhart is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Barnhart started Saturday and went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts, though he still has a respectable .259 batting average for the season. He'll get Sunday's series finale off, with Eric Haase taking over catching duties.

The Twins recalled Godoy from Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

The addition of Godoy will allow the Twins to deploy Gary Sanchez primarily as a designated hitter while Ryan Jeffers serves as the team's everyday catcher. Sanchez could still be used behind the plate on the days Jeffers is out of the lineup, so Godoy won't be a lock to receive any starts during his upcoming stint with the big club.

D'Arnaud is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Milwaukee.

D'Arnaud started the past three games and will take a seat after going 2-for-10 with a double, two RBI, a run and five strikeouts. William Contreras will take over behind the plate and bat ninth Sunday.
