Bailey is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Nationals, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

It's a routine day of rest for the Giants' top catcher. Tom Murphy will be behind the plate for Jordan Hicks on Wednesday.

Diaz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Diaz will get a breather for the day game after he caught both of the first two contests of the series while going 3-for-7 with a pair of RBI to extend his hitting streak to five games. Jacob Stallings will check in for Diaz behind the dish.

Moreno is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Colorado.

Moreno nearly doubled his season hit total with four base knocks in Tuesday's 3-2 win, but the Diamondbacks and Rockies are playing a day game after a night game, so Arizona's top catcher will get a break. Tucker Barnhart will form a battery with starting pitcher Tommy Henry on Wednesday.

Realmuto (neck) will start at catcher and bat cleanup in Wednesday's game in St. Louis.

Realmuto departed Tuesday's 3-0 loss when a pitch in the dirt bounced up and caught him in the throat. Even with the Phillies and Cardinals playing a day game after a night game, he's feeling well enough to give it a go Wednesday.

Washington recalled Millas from Triple-A Rochester on Wednesday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Millas will serve as a third catcher for the big club. The 26-year-old got a taste of the majors last season, going 8-for-28 with a home run in 11 contests.

Smith is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Smith will get some rest after he started behind the plate each of the past three days while going 3-for-13 with a home run, four RBI and an additional run. Austin Barnes draws the starting nod at catcher in the series finale in Minnesota.

Gomes went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Padres.

After going hitless in his first nine at-bats, Gomes has rebounded with a hit in three straight games. Tuesday's outing was his first multi-hit performance of the campaign, and the long ball was also his first. Gomes has been in a near 50-50 timeshare with Miguel Amaya behind the plate, but he could win some more work back if he can remain a reliable bat.

Moreno went 4-for-5 with a pair of doubles in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Rockies.

With two regulars resting, Moreno was moved up to second in the order and delivered his first multi-hit game since Opening Day. The Diamondbacks' primary catcher is slashing .250/.357/.389 over 11 games (nine starts).

Realmuto (neck) will be evaluated again Wednesday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Realmuto is dealing with a bruised neck after taking a Zack Wheeler slider off of his neck in the seventh inning Tuesday, putting his availability in doubt for the immediate future. The catcher's status will receive another update Wednesday after he undergoes additional testing, and if he's forced to miss any time, Garrett Stubbs will likely operate as the team's primary catcher.

Smith went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Twins.

Smith singled and later came around to score on three-run homer by James Outman in the top of the fourth inning before launching a three-run shot of his own the following frame. The long ball was the catcher's first of the season, but he's out to a red-hot start to 2024 overall, batting .400 with five extra-base hits and 12 RBI over 50 at-bats in 12 contests.
