Mets catcher Travis d'Arnaud went 2 for 4 with a big two-run home run in the 4-3 win over the Marlins on Monday. His home run tied the score up at 3-3 in the sixth inning. It was his 12th home run of the season and his second in his last four games.

Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto hit two home runs Tuesday to help propel the team to a 6-4 win over the Brewers.

Both of Realmuto's home runs were solo shots off Taylor Jungmann, but one was an inside the park home run. He finished the game 2 for 4 at the plate with two RBI. Realmuto now has nine home runs on the season.

An MRI showed Dodgers catcher Yasmani Grandal has inflammation in his injured shoulder, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Grandal will have to play with the inflammation for the remainder of the season. He is expected to miss the next few games.

The Giants transferred catcher Hector Sanchez to the 60-day disabled list on Tuesday, reports CSN Bay Area. Sanchez suffered a sprained ankle and strained hamstring during Saturday's game.

A sore shoulder caused Dodgers catcher Yasmani Grandal to be scratched from Monday's game against the Angels, reports ESPN.

He was replaced in the lineup by A.J. Ellis, who is hitting seventh. Grandal is considered day to day. 

Giants catcher Hector Sanchez was diagnosed with a sprained ankle and strained hamstring, reports The San Francisco Chronicle.

Sanchez suffered the injuries during Saturday's game and he said Sunday he will likely miss the rest of the season.

Giants catcher Hector Sanchez was forced to leave Saturday's game against the Rockies in the fourth inning due to a left ankle sprain.

Sanchez was injured while beating out an infield hit, as his foot landed awkwardly on the first base bag. He will go for X-rays to determine the severity of the sprain.

Catcher Travis d'Arnaud got the party started for the Mets on Saturday. The young backstop slammed a three-run home run in the top of the first inning, giving his squad an early 3-0 lead. They would go on to beat the Marlins 7-0.

The homer was d'Arnaud's 10th of the year. d'Arnaud, who went 2 for 4 with four RBI on Saturday, is batting an even .400 with two home runs and 10 RBI over his last nine games.

Dodgers catcher Yasmani Grandal returned to the starting lineup Thursday against the Reds after missing three starts due to a shoulder injury. A.J. Ellis started all three games in Grandal's absence.

Grandal returns to the lineup mired in a 3-for-30 slump in his last 10 games (nine starts). He has no extra-base hits, two RBI, one run, five walks and 10 strikeouts in that span.

Dodgers catcher Yasmani Grandal likely will return to the lineup on Thursday, but is still dealing with a shoulder issue that will probably bother him for the remainder of the season, per the Los Angeles Times.

Grandal has missed the last four games with the injury, which occured when he was struck by a foul ball in his non-throwing shoulder.

"Hopefully, these days give him the best chance of being healthy, or getting as healthy he can be to get to the end of the year," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said.
