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

Murphy is hitless in his last 13 at-bats but has more walks (three) than strikeouts (two) during that stretch. Travis d'Arnaud will catch and bat cleanup Tuesday.

Jansen is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Tampa Bay.

Wells is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.

It's lefty Jose Quintana on the mound for the Mets, so the left-handed hitting Wells will sit in favor of righty Carlos Narvaez. Wells had started each of the previous six contests.

Naylor is absent from the starting nine for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

Naylor will take a seat for a third consecutive contest, with David Fry batting fourth and catching for Tuesday's series opener. Naylor is 7-for-39 (.179) with two home runs, seven RBI and five runs during July.

Bart is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Bart will yield to Yasmani Grandal behind the plate Tuesday after catching back-to-back games. Prior to the All-Star break, Bart seemed to supplant Grandal as the Pirates' preferred catcher, and he's caught three of Pittsburgh's first five contests coming out of the break.

Fortes is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.

Fortes will be on the bench for a second consecutive game after committing three errors Sunday. Ali Sanchez will bat ninth and catch Tuesday.

Raleigh went 1-for-3 with an RBI single and a walk in a loss to the Angels on Monday.

Raleigh opened the scoring on the night with a first-inning single that plated J.P. Crawford (finger), a run that would turn out to be the only one for the Mariners. The 27-year-old snapped an 0-for-16, four-game skid that stretched back to the final game before the All-Star break with the timely knock, but he's now gone six straight contests without an extra-base hit.

Perez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Monday's 10-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

Perez put the Royals ahead for good with his third-inning homer and added a sacrifice fly in the sixth. The catcher is batting .268 (15-for-56) with four homers and 14 RBI over 15 contests in July. For the year, he's been a reliable power bat in the heart of the lineup with a .279/.341/.475 slash line, 18 homers, 66 RBI, 41 runs scored and 16 doubles through 98 games.

Bailey went 2-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Bailey went 0-for-8 over the first three games following the All-Star break, but Monday was his fifth multi-hit effort in July. The catcher's hitting .255 (12-for-47) this month and has been steady overall with a .278/.351/.419 slash line, seven home runs, three steals, 32 RBI and 32 runs scored across 73 contests this season.

O'Hoppe went 0-for-2, got hit by two pitches and stole a base in Monday's 3-1 win over the Mariners.

O'Hoppe has been plunked five times over his last 12 contests, and he's batting .286 (12-for-42) with a 1:10 BB:K in that span. The catcher took advantage of his times on base Monday, logging his second steal of the campaign on his fourth attempt. O'Hoppe is slashing .277/.333/.467 with 14 home runs, 42 RBI, 43 runs scored, 13 doubles and a triple over 86 games this season.
