Bart is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Padres, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Bart will head to the bench after starting the previous four games and going 4-for-14 during that stretch. Chadwick Tromp will catch for Johhny Cueto for the right-hander's third straight start.

Heim went 2-for-3 with an RBI infield single in a win over the Rangers in the first game of a doubleheader Saturday.

Heim split backstop duties with Sean Murphy in Saturday's twin bill, and both young catchers ended up contributing offensively. Heim added to a 4-1 Athletics lead when he legged out a third-inning grounder while Vimael Machin crossed the plate. The 25-year-old has now sandwiched a pair of two-hit efforts around an 0-for-5 tally over two other games thus far in September.

The Rangers placed Trevino (wrist) on the 10-day injured list Sunday.

Trevino hasn't played since suffering a left wrist impingement in Wednesday's game against the Angels and wasn't progressing quickly, so the Rangers will shut him down for the time being, with the hope that he might be ready to return for the final week of the regular season. Jeff Mathis and Sam Huff will share catching duties while Trevino is sidelined.

Thaiss is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

He'll be on the bench for the third straight game, and Thaiss is expected to stick in a reserve role for the foreseeable future after the Angels brought back David Fletcher (ankle) from the injured list Saturday. Thaiss has appeared in eight games with the big club this season, going 3-for-21 with a home run.

Stallings is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Stallings started the past four games for the Buccos and will receive a breather after going 2-for-13 with two doubles and two RBI during that stretch. John Ryan Murphy takes over behind the plate Sunday for Pittsburgh.

Murphy is not in Sunday's lineup against the Rangers.

Murphy is heating up at the dish, batting .400 with three home runs in 20 at-bats this month. Jonah Heim will start behind the dish and hit eighth.

Trevino (wrist), who is not in Sunday's lineup, could go on the injured list Tuesday, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.

He has been slow to recover from this wrist injury, and it sounds like he will hit the shelf officially when the team activates Willie Calhoun on Tuesday. Jeff Mathis will start behind the dish and hit ninth Sunday.

Perez is not in Sunday's lineup against the Twins.

With Cleveland carrying three catchers, Perez's workload has been cut slightly. Sandy Leon will start behind the dish and bat eighth.

Perez is not in Sunday's lineup against the Red Sox.

Perez is 5-for-20 with two doubles, two walks and five strikeouts in nine games this month. Kevan Smith will start behind the dish and bat ninth.

Realmuto (hip) is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Marlins, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Realmuto exited Saturday's contest during the eighth inning with hip discomfort, and it remains unclear if he'll be available for either of Sunday's contests. However, the fact the Phillies didn't promote a catcher when announcing roster moves early in the day could bode well for his outlook. Andrew Knapp will start behind the plate in the matinee.
