Stephenson went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored during the Reds' 7-2 win over the Mets on Tuesday.

Stephenson has logged two RBI in two consecutive games, with his RBI double in the sixth inning of Tuesday's contest giving the Reds a 6-0 lead. It was the fifth multi-RBI game of the season for the veteran catcher, who has gone 5-for-21 (.238) with one home run, five RBI and three runs scored over his last seven games.

Pages is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers.

The Cardinals will give Pages a break after he started behind the plate in both of the team's past two games. Ivan Herrera will handle catching duties Tuesday, opening up the designated-hitter spot for Yohel Pozo.

Susac is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Diamondbacks.

Susac went 1-for-11 in the three games he started after his last game on the bench May 22. As he rests Tuesday, Eric Haase starts behind the plate, batting eighth.

Baldwin (oblique) doesn't yet have a timeline for his return, MLB.com reports.

The star catcher landed on the IL on May 19 with a Grade 1 oblique strain, the mildest category, but the best-case scenario still likely has him out until mid-June. Until Baldwin resumes baseball activities, though, a clear target date for his return won't be available.

Stephenson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 7-2 win over the Mets.

Stephenson delivered a key blow in Cincinnati's four-run fourth inning, taking Nolan McLean deep for a two-run shot to extend the lead. The homer was his fourth of the season as the catcher continues to search for more consistency at the plate. While the overall production has been underwhelming, one bright spot has been his improved plate discipline compared to the 2025 regular season, as Stephenson has raised his walk rate from 10 percent to 13.2 percent while lowering his strikeout rate from 33.9 percent to 27.1 percent. He is now slashing .181/.284/.307 with four doubles, 15 RBI and nine runs scored across 148 plate appearances.

Davis went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Monday against the Cubs.

Davis hasn't had much success at the plate all season and has slipped into an even timeshare with Endy Rodriguez in the last week. Davis did deliver Monday, smacking his fourth home run of the season in the eighth inning, which turned out to be the game-winning run. He has now gone yard twice in his last three starts.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Monday that Alvarez (knee) has already resumed hitting and could return well before his projected eight-week timetable, Max Goodman of NJ.com reports.

Alvarez is less than two weeks removed from surgery to repair the meniscus in his right knee. He still has plenty of benchmarks he needs to reach before a specific timeline for a return comes into focus, but Alvarez seems to now have a chance to be back before the end of June.

Kelly went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 8-5 loss to the Astros.

Kelly and Michael Busch were the only Chicago hitters with multiple hits on the day as the Cubs lost their eighth straight contest. Despite the team's struggles recently, Kelly has remained a bright spot with a .296/.380/.392 slash line across 39 games. The batting average and on-base percentage would be new career bests for the veteran catcher, who has held onto his role as Chicago's top backstop ahead of Miguel Amaya due to his strong play.

Moreno is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

The Diamondbacks will rest Moreno after the 26-year-old backstop was behind the plate for each of the first three games of the series. Aramis Garcia will handle catching duties Sunday in Moreno's stead.

Goodman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Goodman will be rested for the series finale in Arizona after he started behind the plate in each of the Rockies' past three games. Brett Sullivan will get the nod at catcher Sunday, batting ninth while forming a battery with starting pitcher Jose Quintana.
