Diaz is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Marlins.

Diaz started at catcher the last three games but will begin Tuesday's festivities on the bench. Christian Vazquez will take over behind the plate for Houston.

Susac is not in the lineup for Tuesday's tilt in Kansas City.

The Giants have eased Susac back into things following his return from the injured list last week, as this is the third time he's been on the bench in five games. It will be Jesus Rodriguez's turn behind the plate Tuesday.

Basallo (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

It's the second straight absence from the lineup for Basallo after he exited Sunday's contest due to right shoulder discomfort. The 21-year-old indicated his shoulder is already feeling better and that he should be able to avoid a trip to the injured list, per Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com. Adley Rutschman (wrist) is already on the IL, leaving Sam Huff and Chadwick Tromp to split catching duties if Basallo misses more time.

Rushing is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Philadelphia.

Rushing started Monday's series opener but will retreat to the bench for the second game of the three-game set. Eliezer Alfonzo will take over behind the plate for the Dodgers.

Bailey is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

Austin Hedges will receive the nod behind the plate Tuesday while Bailey rests for the second game of the series. In Monday's 13-4 victory, Bailey caught all nine innings while producing a season-high four hits, including his fourth home run of the campaign.

Kirk is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Rays.

It's a regular day off for Kirk, who is sporting just a .598 OPS with one home run in 25 games since coming off the injured list. Brandon Valenzuela will grab a start at catcher in Kirk's stead.

The White Sox recalled Quero from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

He's getting another opportunity following the injury to Kyle Teel (ankle). Quero slashed just .187/.253/.233 earlier this season for the White Sox and hit only .230/.299/.295 at Charlotte, so it's difficult to summon much confidence he'll right the ship offensively. However, he should get an opportunity to at least share the catching job with Drew Romo while Teel is shelved.

The White Sox placed Teel on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to a left ankle sprain.

The 24-year-old departed Monday's game against the Rangers due to the injury and was sporting crutches after the contest, so it's hardly a surprise that he's ended up on the IL. It's unclear how long Teel is expected to be sidelined, but he'll be eligible to be reinstated July 31. Edgar Quero was called up from Triple-A Charlotte and should split catching duties with Drew Romo while Teel is out.

Single-A Lake Elsinore sent Harvey (finger) on a rehab assignment in the Arizona Complex League on July 16.

Per J.J. Cooper of Baseball America, Harvey missed a month early this year with a hamstring injury and made it back May 12, only to break a finger on his left hand 10 days later when he was hit by a backswing while catching. In 24 games this season including rehab assignments, the 19-year-old catcher is hitting .338/.432/.486 with one home run, five steals and a 25 percent strikeout rate.

Susac went 2-for-3 with a double and a stolen base in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Royals.

Susac hit a single to left field in the fifth inning before stealing second base, and he added a leadoff double in the eighth. The 25-year-old catcher delivered his first multi-hit performance since June 10 after spending an extended period on the injured list with a lower-back strain. He's now slashing .264/.308/.336 with 14 RBI, six doubles, five runs scored and two stolen bases across 122 plate appearances.
