Stallings went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Sunday against the Pirates.

Stallings put the Rockies on the board with the second-inning blast against his former club. Despite serving as the second catcher in Colorado, Stallings has been effective on offense when given the opportunity with a hitting streak that's spanned the last seven games he's played in since April 17. He's hit .400 over that stretch with two homers, six RBI and four runs scored, lifting his season average to .351 in the process.

Contreras went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and three strikeouts in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the White Sox.

Contreras accounted for all the offense for St. Louis on Sunday, launching a solo shot off of Garrett Crochet in the bottom of the fourth inning. The long ball was his sixth of the year and second in the last four contests. Contreras is now batting .275 with six home runs, 11 RBI, 18 runs scored and two stolen bases over 102 at-bats in 29 games in 2024.

The Giants placed Murphy on the 10-day injured list with a left knee sprain Sunday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Murphy suffered the injury during Saturday's contest and is now on the injured list after an MRI revealed a sprain. Patrick Bailey (concussion) is also unavailable, leaving Blake Sabol and Jakson Reetz, who had his contract selected from Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday, to handle catching duties.

Stephenson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Stephenson started the first two games of the series but will sit for the finale after going 0-for-6 with a walk. Luke Maile is catching for Nick Lodolo and batting ninth.

Campusano is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Campusano started the previous four games and went 2-for-15 with two walks, two RBI and two runs. Kyle Higashioka will take over behind the plate in Sunday's series finale.

Smith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Unless he makes a plate appearance off the bench, Smith will put his eight-game hitting streak on hold and get a breather after he was behind the plate for each of the Dodgers' previous five contests. Austin Barnes will handle the catching duties in the series finale.

Moreno is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

Moreno started the first two games of the series and will sit Sunday afternoon after going 2-for-7 with an RBI. Tucker Barnhart will step in behind the plate and bat ninth.

Langeliers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Langeliers was probably overdue for a day off, as he had started at catcher or served as a designated hitter in each of Oakland's last five games. Kyle McCann will get a turn behind the plate in Sunday's series finale.

Lee is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Lee will hit the bench for the series finale after he caught all 10 innings of Saturday's 6-5 win while going 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI. Martin Maldonado will draw the nod behind the plate Sunday.

Wong is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
