Narvaez will sit Tuesday against Cleveland.

Narvaez is hitting just .154/.281/.231 over his last 10 games. Tom Murphy will start behind the plate Tuesday.

Maile (oblique) is making solid progress in his rehab and could return within a week or so, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Maile has been on the 10-day injured list since July 27 with a left oblique strain, though he could be back in action for the final few weeks of the regular season if all goes well. He's struggled to a .153 average with two homers and nine RBI over 42 games this season with Toronto.

Jansen isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

Jansen has started just three games in September, and he's failed to register a hit over that stretch (0-for-9). Reese McGuire is set to handle the catching duties and hit seventh.

Trevino isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays.

Trevino racked up three base knocks in Sunday's series finale, but following a team off day, he'll head to the bench. Jeff Mathis draws the start behind the dish and will hit ninth.

Rogers isn't starting Tuesday's game against the Yankees, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Rogers is 0-for-12 over four games to begin September, so he's in line for another off day Tuesday. Grayson Greiner draws the start behind the dish and will bat eighth.

D'Arnaud isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

D'Arnaud came through with an RBI double in his return to the starting lineup Sunday, though he'll head to the bench for Tuesday's series opener. Michael Perez will handle the catching duties and hit ninth.

Stallings went 2-for-3 with a home run against the Giants on Monday.

He's seen the bulk of starts behind home plate over the past month, but mostly because of his defensive skills. General manager Neal Huntington has said that improving the catching position for 2020 is one of his main concerns, meaning that Stallings may not see another year-over-year bump in playing time. He's slashing .268/.339/.389 with five homers in 175 plate appearances.

Mejia (oblique) took batting practice Monday and could return next week, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Mejia swung the bat for the first time since suffering a right oblique strain Aug. 28. Manager Andy Green indicated that Mejia would take batting practice for a few more days before potentially playing in the instructional league. If all goes well, the 23-year-old could return to the Padres next week.

Grandal went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer and two runs scored in Monday's 8-3 win over Miami.

After hitting just three homers in July and August combined, Grandal has already launched five in September and four in his last five games. The switch-hitting catcher is up to 26 long balls this season, one short of his career high set in 2016.

Contreras isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Padres.

Contreras will take a seat after going 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Sunday's series finale against Milwaukee. Victor Caratini will draw the start behind the dish and is set to bat fifth.
