Kelly is not in the Cubs' starting lineup against the Dodgers on Friday.

Kelly will sit for a second straight game as Miguel Amaya gets the start behind home plate and bats ninth against Dodgers right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Kelly is 7-for-21 with two homers, eight walks, 10 RBI and five runs scored so far this season.

Torrens (forearm) will start at catcher and bat eighth Friday against the Athletics.

Torrens has been held out of the Mets' last four games due to a bruised forearm, but he now appears to be fully healed and ready to return behind the dish. The 28-year-old is off to a strong start this year, going 6-for-20 with a homer and two RBI through eight games.

Murphy is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays.

Murphy will get a chance to rest his legs after making three consecutive starts behind the plate following his return from the injured list. He's 3-for-11 with a home run, four RBI, two runs scored and five strikeouts against one walk so far this season. Rookie Drake Baldwin is set to return to the lineup to catch for Bryce Elder in the series opener in Tampa Bay.

Realmuto is not in the lineup for Friday's game in St. Louis.

Realmuto caught all 11 innings of Thursday's extra-innings, rain-delayed game in Atlanta, so he'll get some well-earned rest Friday. Rafael Marchan is behind the dish and batting ninth for the Phillies in Friday's series opener.

Fortes has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 left oblique strain, Stephen Strom of Marlins Radio Network reports.

It's the least severe grade of strain, but Fortes could still be out beyond the minimum 10 days. In the meantime, Liam Hicks will operate as the Marlins' primary catcher, with Rob Brantly backing him up.

The Marlins selected Brantly's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.

Brantly will return to the majors to provide catching depth alongside Liam Hicks while Nick Fortes (oblique) is on the injured list. While Brantly has seen action in parts of nine major-league seasons, he has not reached even 100 plate appearances in a big-league campaign since 2013. He is yet to get into a regular-season game at any level this season.

Fortes was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to April 10, with a left oblique strain.

Fortes missed time last week with a neck issue and is now nursing an oblique injury, which could very well keep him out beyond the initial 10 days. Veteran catcher Rob Brantly was called up in a corresponding move to help Liam Hicks with the workload behind the plate in Miami.

Bailey went 2-for-4 with a triple, a double, a run scored and an RBI in Wednesday's 8-6 extra-inning win over the Reds.

Bailey lined his third career triple into right field during the sixth frame, cutting the deficit to two runs after driving in Wilmer Flores. Bailey logged his second multi-hit effort over 12 appearances, following a lackluster four-game stretch in which he went 0-for-9 at the plate. The defensive stalwart has recorded at least one hit in three games thus far, slashing .194/.265/.355 with five runs, four extra-base hits and three RBI across 34 plate appearances.

Goodman is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Brewers.

Goodman had started at catcher or designated hitter in each of the Rockies' first nine games, but he'll find himself on the bench for the second time in Colorado's three-game series with the Brewers. Jacob Stallings will get another starting nod behind the dish while Goodman's bat has cooled off a bit following a red-hot start to the season. Over his last five games, Goodman has gone 2-for-19 with two walks against five strikeouts.

Bart went 2-for-5 with an RBI on Wednesday against the Cardinals.

Bart delivered the walk-off hit in the bottom of the 13th inning and concluded Pittsburgh's series against the Cardinals with five hits across 11 at-bats. He also tallied three extra-base hits -- including his first homer of the season-- while driving in four. Bart showed signs of breaking out across 282 plate appearances in 2024, and he's performed well at the plate across 45 plate appearances in 2025 while serving as the Pirates' primary catcher.
