Casali went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to Arizona.

The catcher accounted for San Francisco's lone run when he went deep in the fifth inning. Casali has gone 3-for-6 with a homer and a double in his last two games. The 32-year-old has five long balls, 21 RBI, 15 runs scored and a .221/.329/.404 slash line in 158 plate appearances. He's likely to start every third game or so as Buster Posey's backup.

Raleigh isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Rays.

Raleigh had started each of the last four games, and he went 1-for-16 with two RBI and four strikeouts. Tom Murphy will start behind the plate and bat seventh.

Barnhart is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

Barnhart will get a breather in the series finale after he caught in four of the Reds' past five games. Tyler Stephenson will be behind the dish Wednesday, working in a battery with Luis Castillo.

Garver is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

Garver, who went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's 7-5 win, looks to be receiving some routine maintenance for the day game after a night game. Ryan Jeffers will catch for starting pitcher Charlie Barnes in the series finale in Cincinnati.

Jackson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Mets.

He opened the scoring on the night by taking Taijuan Walker deep in the second inning, his first career homer in the big leagues. Jackson also struck out twice, and the move to Miami at the trade deadline doesn't seem to have changed the catcher's fortunes at the plate -- it's a small sample of 58 plate appearances, but Jackson's gone just 4-for-51 (.078) with a 3:26 BB:K in the majors for his career.

Barnhart went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Twins.

He went back-to-back with Eugenio Suarez to lead off in the third inning, giving the Reds an early 2-1 lead in the back-and-forth affair. Barnhart had an .815 OPS at the end of May but hasn't contributed much since, slashing .243/.304/.348 over his last 38 games with two of his five homers on the year.

Garver went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Reds.

He took Tyler Mahle deep in the fifth inning, Garver's 12th homer of the season. The 30-year-old catcher has had trouble staying healthy this season but has been productive when in the lineup lately, slashing .296/.406/.815 with four home runs and 10 RBI over eight games since the All-Star break.

Diaz went 3-for-4 with a grand slam, a double and three total runs in Tuesday's 13-6 win over the Cubs.

After Chicago jumped out to an early 1-0 lead, Diaz turned the tide with a grand slam in the bottom of the second inning. He added a single and a double and scored twice more over the remainder of the contest. Diaz is up to 12 homers on the campaign, with three of the long balls coming over his past four contests.

Realmuto went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during Tuesday's win over the Nationals.

Realmuto left the yard against Patrick Corbin in the seventh inning. After heating up with 10 hits over the last four games, the 30-year-old backstop has raised his season slash line to .275/.360/.458 to go with 12 long balls.

Murphy is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres.

He sits for the second straight game with Oakland facing southpaw Blake Snell. Murphy has hit .190 against left-handed pitching this season, whereas Yan Gomes, who's starting Tuesday, has hit .364 in such matchups.
