  • Miguel Amaya C | CHC

    Cubs' Miguel Amaya: Resting Wednesday

    Amaya is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

    Amaya will hit the bench after he had started at catcher in three of the past four games while going 5-for-8 with two walks and a run during that stretch. Tomas Nido will spell Amaya behind the dish Wednesday.

  • Phillies' Garrett Stubbs: Losing work to Realmuto

    Stubbs will start at catcher and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Twins.

    Though he's included in the lineup for the series finale in Minnesota, Stubbs has moved back into the No. 2 role at catcher after JT Realmuto was reinstated from the injured list Saturday. Realmuto has been on the bench twice in the Phillies' five contests since his activation, but both of his absences came in day games after night games.

  • Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Hitting bench for series finale

    Realmuto is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

    Garrett Stubbs will draw the start behind the plate while Realmuto receives a breather for the day game after catching all nine innings of Tuesday's 3-0 win. Since being activated from the injured list Saturday, Realmuto has gone 2-for-9 with three walks and a run over his three starts.

  • Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Plates two in win

    Moreno went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Royals.

    Moreno plated two runners in scoring position with a two-out, first-inning single. He's rolling since coming back from a thumb injury earlier this month, slashing .315/.422/.444 with nine walks, a home run, nine RBI and seven runs scored over 16 contests since returning.

  • Elias Diaz C | SD

    Rockies' Elias Diaz: Back in lineup

    Diaz (calf) will start at catcher and bat sixth Tuesday against the Red Sox.

    Calf soreness has kept Diaz out of Colorado's last two games, but he's feeling well enough to return behind the dish for Tuesday's contest. The 33-year-old backstop has slashed .184/.245/.204 with two RBI in 53 plate appearances since the beginning of July.

  • Tomas Nido C | DET

    Cubs' Tomas Nido: Idle Tuesday

    Nido isn't in the Cubs' lineup Tuesday versus the Brewers.

    While Nido and Miguel Amaya have been splitting time behind the plate recently, Tuesday's game will be the second consecutive one on the bench for Nido, his first set of consecutive absences since June 25-26. Amaya is batting eighth Tuesday after going 1-for-3 with two walks in Monday's 3-1 win over the Brewers.

  • Mets' Francisco Alvarez: Sitting out Tuesday

    Alvarez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Yankees.

    Alvarez will get a breather after going just 1-for-12 with four strikeouts to start off his second half. Luis Torrens will do the catching for the Mets on Tuesday.

  • Sean Murphy C | ATL

    Braves' Sean Murphy: Idle Tuesday

    Murphy is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.

    Murphy is hitless in his last 13 at-bats but has more walks (three) than strikeouts (two) during that stretch. Travis d'Arnaud will catch and bat cleanup Tuesday.

  • Joey Bart C | PIT

    Pirates' Joey Bart: Resting Tuesday

    Bart is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Bart will yield to Yasmani Grandal behind the plate Tuesday after catching back-to-back games. Prior to the All-Star break, Bart seemed to supplant Grandal as the Pirates' preferred catcher, and he's caught three of Pittsburgh's first five contests coming out of the break.

  • Nick Fortes C | TB

    Marlins' Nick Fortes: Sitting again

    Fortes is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.

    Fortes will be on the bench for a second consecutive game after committing three errors Sunday. Ali Sanchez will bat ninth and catch Tuesday.
