Crooks is out of the lineup for Monday's game versus the Athletics.

Crooks drew his first major-league start in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Reds and cranked his first big-league home run, but he finds himself back on the bench a day later. The young catcher has started just one of four games since being recalled from Triple-A Memphis. Pedro Pages will catch and bat seventh for St. Louis on Monday.

The Rockies recalled Romo from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday.

Romo will hit the big leagues for the first time in 2025 after slashing .264/.329/.409 with seven home runs over 60 games at Albuquerque. He will serve as the Rockies' third catcher during the final month of the season.

Alvarez (thumb/finger) was able to catch all nine innings of Sunday's game with Triple-A Syracuse, and he appears to be close to returning from the injured list, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

The 23-year-old backstop landed on the IL on Aug. 18 due to a right thumb injury that will likely require offseason surgery, and Alvarez's digits continued to take a beating on a rehab assignment last week when he was hit by a pitch and fractured his lefty pinky finger Wednesday. Incredibly, he was only sidelined until Saturday before resuming his rehab stint, and pain tolerance appears to be the biggest hurdle before he'll be able to return to the Mets. That said, over his two games this weekend with Syracuse he went 1-for-9 with six strikeouts, and trying to play through injuries to both hands isn't going to help his performance as a hitter.

Adams is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

The Nationals are kicking off a three-game set versus Miami with a day game, so Adams will receive a breather after he caught all nine innings of the team's 7-4 loss to the Rays on Sunday afternoon. C.J. Stubbs will draw the start behind the plate in the series opener.

Hicks is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.

The Nationals are sending lefty Andrew Alvarez to the hill for the series opener, so Hicks will head to the bench along with another lefty-hitting lineup regular in Troy Johnston. Hicks closed August with a .267/.359/.344 slash line, one home run, eight RBI and 14 runs over 28 games.

The Phillies recalled Stubbs from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday.

Stubbs is up with the big club to serve as its third catcher in September. The 32-year-old has a career .215 average and seven home runs in 198 games in the majors. He hit .265 with eight home runs and five steals in 71 games at Triple-A this season.

Fulford went 2-for-4 with a double, a triple, two runs scored and an RBI on Sunday against the Cubs.

Fulford briefly got spot starts as Colorado's designated hitter, but he's shifted to a more traditional backup catcher of late and started only six of the team's last 14 games. He had one of his best offensive performances of the season Sunday, delivering his fourth multi-hit performance in 22 starts.

Baldwin went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run and a walk in Sunday's 3-1 win over Philadelphia.

Baldwin gave way to Sean Murphy behind the plate to start this game. In the end, Baldwin was part of Atlanta's build-up to tie the game in the eighth inning before he swatted the decisive homer in the top of the ninth. This was the rookie's 100th game, and he's up to 15 homers on the year while adding 62 RBI, 41 runs scored and a .280/.351/.462 slash line. He was right in line with those marks in August, batting .284 (23-for-81) with 21 RBI over 23 games for the month.

Contreras went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Sunday's loss to Toronto.

Contreras opened the game's scoring with his two-run shot in the first inning before adding an RBI single in the third. It was his 17th long ball of the year and 11th in his last 31 contests. He entered the All-Star break with a disappointing .699 OPS, but he now owns a .259/.355/.410 slash line through 583 plate appearances. Contreras has gone 49-for-171 (.287) in 42 games since the All-Star break.

Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and a walk in Sunday's win against the Mets.

Ramirez snapped a 12-game homerless drought with his two-run blast in the third inning Sunday. He's up to 19 on the year, though just two of those have come in his last 26 appearances. Ramirez was stuck in a 4-for-33 (.121) skid over nine contests before collecting multiple hits in back-to-back games Saturday and Sunday. He's now slashing .233/.290/.430 with 48 extra-base hits and 60 RBI through 482 plate appearances.
