Rogers isn't in the Tigers' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.

Rogers will sit down for a second consecutive game Tuesday after going 0-for-16 with nine strikeouts over his last five games. Dillon Dingler will get the starting nod behind home plate instead and bat seventh.

Alvarez isn't in the Mets' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

Alvarez will get a breather Tuesday after going 4-for-13 with an RBI and two runs scored over his last three games. Luis Torrens will catch for right-hander Luis Severino and bat seventh.

Trevino (quadriceps) could start a rehab assignment as soon as Sunday, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Trevino has been sidelined for three weeks due to a Grade 2 strain of his left quad. However, the catcher is getting close to appearing in games, with Sunday or Tuesday being named as potential dates for Trevino's minor-league rehab to begin. It's unclear how many rehab games he'll require before being cleared for activation.

Fermin is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

After starting six straight games -- four at DH, two at catcher -- Fermin will have the night off Tuesday. The 29-year-old is slashing .304/.352/.429 with a 18.4 percent strikeout rate in 245 plate appearances.

Higashioka is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Higashioka and Luis Campusano have been alternating starts at catcher over the last six games, with each receiving three starts. Higashioka has a career-high 13 homers this season and an .800 OPS across 164 plate appearances.

Fortes is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds due to quadriceps tightness but will be available off the bench, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

Fortes departed Monday's contest due to the injury and was limited to running at 75 percent Tuesday. It remains to be seen if a stint on the injured list will be necessary. Ali Sanchez is working behind the plate and batting ninth.

Murphy is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers.

Murphy has continued to split time behind the plate with Travis d'Arnaud, and he'll yield to d'Arnaud for Tuesday's series opener. Murphy is 5-for-16 with a solo homer in his last five games.

The Diamondbacks placed Moreno on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left adductor strain, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

Moreno suffered the injury in Monday's win over the Guardians while legging out an infield single. The severity of the strain isn't known yet, so it's not clear how long he might be sidelined. Adrian Del Castillo has been summoned to handle the catching duties alongside Jose Herrera.

The Giants placed Casali on the paternity list Tuesday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Casali will likely miss this week's three-game series against the Nationals before rejoining the club when it returns home this weekend. Jakson Reetz was called up from Triple-A Sacramento to serve as the second catcher behind starter Patrick Bailey while Casali is away.

The Reds outrighted Yang to Triple-A Louisville on Monday.

Yang had already been sent back to the minors last week after a brief stint with the Reds and has now been removed from the 40-man roster. He will remain in the organization as catching depth at Louisville.
