Manager Rocco Baldelli said Garver (groin) is being evaluated at a local hospital after leaving Tuesday's game and won't "be catching for awhile," Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

The 30-year-old was initially diagnosed with a bruised left groin after being struck by a foul tip during the first inning Tuesday, but it appears he may be dealing with a more serious injury. Garver will be headed to the injured list if his manager's comments prove accurate.

Contreras went 2-for-4 with a double and a two-run home run in Tuesday's win over the Padres.

Contreras led off in this one and provided a much-needed offensive boost in the 4-3 win. The veteran catcher now has nine home runs and 24 RBI through 49 games, and he should continue to be a reliable fantasy backstop the rest of the way.

Garver exited Tuesday's game at Baltimore with a left groin contusion, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Garver went 0-for-1 before suffering the injury when struck by a foul tip during the bottom of the first inning, leading to his removal. Ben Rortvedt has taken over behind the plate for the Twins.

McCann is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Diamondbacks, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

McCann went 0-for-5 with a pair of strikeouts during the first game of the series Monday and will head to the bench Tuesday. Tomas Nido will work behind the plate for the Mets.

Tromp was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The 26-year-old spent one day on the major-league roster in April but was demoted without appearing in a game. Tromp will serve as Buster Posey's backup while Curt Casali (wrist) remains on the injured list.

Casali was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left wrist strain, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

The catcher isn't expected to miss much time (if any) beyond the minimum 10 days. Though a solid defensive asset, Casali has struggled considerably at the plate with a .104 average this season and may benefit from some time off. Chadwick Tromp was recalled to fill Casali's roster spot for the time being.

Godoy isn't in the lineup Tuesday against the Athletics.

Godoy went 1-for-3 with a strikeout in Monday's win over Oakland. Tom Murphy will start at catcher and bat eighth.

Stassi (concussion) was reinstated from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

Stassi recently completed his four-game rehab assignment and will return from the injured list after missing just under a month. He'll likely reclaim his role as the Angels' primary catcher going forward.

Narvaez is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against Detroit.

With lefty Matthew Boyd on the Hill for the Tigers, Narvaez will sit for the beginning portion of Tuesday's contest. Manny Pina will work behind the plate and bat fifth.

Rogers isn't starting Tuesday's game against the Brewers, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Rogers will be out of the lineup for the third time in the last four games after he went 1-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout Monday. Eric Haase will start behind the plate and bat sixth.
