Pages went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Cubs.

Pages has homered in two of his last three games, and his second-inning blast was all the run support Miles Mikolas needed in Sunday's win. It's been a challenging first season for Pages, who has a .132/.239/.316 slash line over 46 plate appearances, but he's received more playing time this week at the expense of Ivan Herrera.

Trevino went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 9-3 loss to the Red Sox.

Trevino is tapping into his power lately with three homers over the last five games. The catcher is up to eight long balls on the year while slashing a strong .271/.317/.451 through 47 contests. He's added 25 RBI and 19 runs scored, but he hasn't hit a double or stolen a base all year.

Diaz (calf) hasn't resumed running since landing on the 10-day injured list Friday, MLB.com reports.

Diaz is no longer walking with a limp, but he hasn't yet made enough progress in his recovery from a left calf strain to resume on-field work. The veteran backstop is without a clear target date for a return from the IL, and fantasy managers shouldn't count on him returning at any point during the Rockies' upcoming seven-game week.

d'Arnaud went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday against the Rays.

d'Arnaud's second-inning homer was his sixth of the season but his first since April 22. It was also just the third multi-hit performance for d'Arnaud since late April, a span of 31 games. d'Arnaud has seen his playing time reduced dramatically since the return of Sean Murphy, seeing action in just eight games and collecting 24 at-bats since Murphy's return in late May from an oblique injury.

Rortvedt went 1-for-4 with a grand slam Sunday against Atlanta.

Rortvedt strode to the plate with the bases loaded in the fourth, depositing the first pitch he saw into the right-field seats, clearing the bases and breaking open a tie game. It was the first homer of the season and first career grand slam for Rortvedt, who has seen action in 52 games this season, batting .250 with 14 RBI, 17 runs and a steal over 124 at-bats.

Jeffers is not in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader with the Athletics.

Jeffers will get a breather after he went 1-for-4 in the team's 6-2 win over Oakland in Game 1. Christian Vazquez will take over behind the plate and bat eighth in the nightcap.

Contreras is being evaluated for a concussion following Sunday's 5-4 win over the Reds, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Contreras took a shot to the head when he collided with Stuart Fairchild at home plate, applying the tag for the final out of the contest. The catcher was slow to get up, and he'll now undergo some additional testing to determine the severity of the injury. The Brewers will start a three-game series on the road against the Angels on Monday. If Contreras is forced to miss any action, Gary Sanchez would likely take over behind the plate.

Wells is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Wells will sit for the second time in the series after making his lone start in Saturday's 8-1 win. Though he's gone 5-for-15 with a home run and walk in his last five games, Wells still appears to be stuck in a timeshare at catcher with Jose Trevino.

Knizner will start at catcher and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Knizner will be making his third consecutive start, but his time as the Rangers' No. 1 catcher should be short-lived. Jonah Heim (personal) was placed on the paternity list Saturday and will rejoin the team no later than Tuesday.

Stallings will start at catcher and bat cleanup in Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Stallings will pick up his fourth start in five games and should continue serving as the Rockies' primary option behind the plate until Elias Diaz (calf) returns from the 10-day injured list. A former Gold Glove winner who's valued mainly for his defensive contributions, Stallings has been a surprising performer with the bat during his first season in Colorado, slashing .296/.375/.449 over 113 plate appearances thus far.
