Trevino (illness) is starting at catcher and batting eighth for Sunday's series finale against the Padres.

Adams will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Though he'll step in behind the plate for the series finale, Adams playing time has predictably been on the downturn since Keibert Ruiz made his return from the injured list earlier this month. Adams will be making just his second start in seven games.

Raleigh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Raleigh will receive some routine maintenance for Sunday's day game after he started behind the plate in both of the previous two days. Seby Zavala will get the nod at catcher in the series finale.

The veteran will cede catching duties to Joey Bart as the Pirates look for the series sweep. Grandal is slashing .196/.212/.373 with 10 RBI this season.

Wong is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

Wong will rest in the series finale after he started at catcher in each of the previous three contests. Reese McGuire will check in for Wong behind the dish.

Ruiz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Barnes will start at catcher and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Reds.

Barnes will start for the first time in a week while top backstop Will Smith rests for the day game. Over 45 plate appearances this season, Barnes is hitting .189 with zero home runs or stolen bases.

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

After starting at catcher in the last five games, Smith will get a break for the day game as the team finishes out its series in Cincinnati. Austin Barnes will get the start behind home plate and will bat ninth in place of Smith.

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

Stephenson will get a break after catching in Cincinnati's first two games of its series against the Dodgers. Luke Maile will fill in at catcher and will bat eighth as the Reds go for the series sweep.

Rodriguez (elbow) will begin playing catch soon, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Rodriguez has been rehabbing at the team's facility in Florida and has already been cleared to swing from the left side of the plate. His next steps will be resuming throwing and also swinging from the right side -- with the latter step likely not occurring until late June or early July.
