Campusano isn't in the Padres' lineup Saturday versus Kansas City.

Naylor will get another day off as the Guardians face left-hander Mitchell Parker on Saturday. Austin Hedges will replace him at catcher and bat eighth versus Washington.

The Marlins placed Bethancourt on the bereavement list Saturday.

Bethancourt will be away from the team for three games as he tends to more important matters. Jhonny Pereda was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move and will likely split time with Nick Fortes behind the plate while Bethancourt is out.
