Rupp is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Rockies, Jim Salisbury of CSN Philadelphia reports.

Manager Pete Mackanin hinted after Tuesday's game that he planned to use backup catcher Andrew Knapp in a more expanded capacity going forward, and it appears he's sticking true to that goal by calling upon the young backstop for the second game in a row. Knapp is regarded as more of a defensive-minded catcher than Rupp, who has been a useful option in NL-only and two-catcher mixed leagues this season with a .330 on-base percentage, four homers and 13 RBI over 115 plate appearances. With Rupp seemingly on track to cede more duties to Knapp, fantasy owners may not want to grow too attached to him.
