Campusano is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

Campusano will receive the afternoon off after he had started behind the plate in both of the Padres' previous contests. Freddy Fermin will handle catching duties for the Friars in the series finale.

Contreras is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.

The Brewers will give Contreras a breather for the matinee contest after he caught all nine innings of an 8-2 win Tuesday night. Gary Sanchez will spell Contreras behind the dish in the series finale.

Ruiz is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Blue Jays.

Ruiz was behind the dish for the first two games of the series, so he'll get a break during Wednesday's matinee. The Nationals will go with Harry Ford at catcher in the rubber match.

Rodriguez is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Diamondbacks.

The Pirates have eased Rodriguez back into action following his return from the injured list earlier this week, as this will be his second time on the bench in three contests. Rodriguez should eventually retake the primary catcher job, but it will be Henry Davis behind the dish in Wednesday's series finale.

Navarreto will start at catcher and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

With Joe Mack resting for the series finale and Liam Hicks manning first base, Navarreto will crack the starting nine for the first time since July 12. Since being called up from Triple-A Jacksonville on June 21, Navarreto is slashing .167/.231/.250 over just 15 plate appearances in seven games.

Mack is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

Mack will rest during Wednesday's matinee after starting at catcher each of the previous three days. Brian Navarreto will be behind the dish as the Marlins go for the sweep.

Rivero (hand) began a rehab assignment Saturday and has gone 3-for-7 with a home run in his first two rehab contests.

Rivero played one rehab game in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League before being moved up to Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Tuesday. The catcher has been out since early June following left hamate bone surgery. It's not a given that Rivero will be returned to the Angels' roster once he's physically ready.

Wong went 1-for-1 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Athletics.

Wong entered the game in the eighth inning after starter Carlos Narvaez was removed for a pinch hitter. The Red Sox rallied from a 3-0 deficit over the final two innings, which included Wong's two-run homer in the ninth, but the rally fell short. He's batting just .182 (4-for-22) with nine strikeouts since the break.

Moreno went 2-for-6 with two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 8-7 extra-innings win over the Pirates.

Moreno's infield single in the third inning extended an on-base streak to 25 consecutive games and 44 straight starts. The catcher/DH is batting .346 (56-for-162) with a .439 on-base percentage during his 44-start on-base streak. Moreno has a .307/.389/.445 slash line with 18 doubles, seven home runs, 43 RBI, four steals and 44 runs through 81 contests this season.

McCann went 4-for-6 with an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 8-7 extra-innings win over Pittsburgh.

McCann saved Arizona from its worst loss of the season when he singled home the game-winning run in the top of the 12th inning. The Diamondbacks blew a 6-0 lead in the final two innings of regulation but came back to win it in extras. McCann has hit safely in all six games since returning from a quad injury that cost him nearly two months. The backup catcher is 12-for-24 (.500) with three home runs and 10 RBI in those six contests.
