Diaz isn't starting Tuesday's game against the Giants, AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain reports.

Diaz will be out of the lineup for the second time in the last three games after he went 0-for-3 with a walk Monday. Dom Nunez will start behind the dish and bat eighth.

Stassi isn't in the lineup Tuesday against the Padres, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Stassi started each of the last two games but went 0-for-6 with a run and two strikeouts. Kurt Suzuki will start at catcher and bat sixth.

Murphy isn't starting Tuesday's game against the White Sox, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Murphy will be out of the lineup for the fourth time in the last five games after he went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer Saturday. Yan Gomes will start behind the dish and bat eighth.

Stallings will sit Tuesday against the Tigers.

Stallings sits after starting seven of the last eight games behind the plate. Michael Perez will catch for Dillon Peters this time around.

Ruiz (knee) remains on the bench for Tuesday's game against Atlanta, Pete Kerzel of MASNSports.com reports.

Ruiz fouled a ball off his knee Saturday against the Mets and hasn't appeared in a game since then. Riley Adams will catch for Paolo Espino this time around.

McCann will be on the bench for Tuesday's game against the Marlins, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

McCann has disappointed at the plate for most of the season, but he's been particularly poor over his last 15 games, hitting .146/.180/.229. Patrick Mazeika will take over behind the plate Tuesday.

Raleigh isn't starting Tuesday's game against the Astros.

Raleigh went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Monday's loss and will head to the bench for the second time in the last three games. Tom Murphy will start at catcher and bat eighth.

Garver (back) played catch on the field ahead of Tuesday's game against Cleveland, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Garver has been dealing with a lower back strain late August. He's currently eligible to return from the 10-day injured list, although the Twins haven't yet revealed a timetable for his return. It's encouraging to see him resume baseball activities Tuesday, but Ryan Jeffers and Ben Rortvedt should continue to see time behind the plate in his absence.

Sanchez isn't starting Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays.

Sanchez went 2-for-7 with two homers and six RBI across the last two games, but he'll get a breather Tuesday. Kyle Higashioka will start behind the dish with right-hander Gerrit Cole on the mound.

Moreno (thumb) will begin a rehab assignment this week in the Florida Complex League, Future Blue Jays reports.

The FCL Jays were rained out Tuesday, but Moreno should soon get into game action. He has been out since June 25 with a minor thumb fracture. Moreno is a strong candidate to go to the Arizona Fall League to make up for lost time.
