Rodriguez is out of the lineup Thursday against the Phillies.

Jason Delay will catch and bat ninth for the visiting Pirates. Rodriguez started behind the plate in the first two games of the three-game series and went 0-for-7 with a walk and two strikeouts.

Diaz is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Dodgers.

Diaz gets a breather after going 0-for-4 with four strikeouts in the Rockies' loss to Los Angeles on Wednesday. Austin Wynns will start at catcher and bat eighth in Thursday's series finale.

Alvarez isn't in the Mets' lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Marlins, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

After going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts during Game 1, Alvarez's hitless streak extended to seven games. Omar Narvaez will fill in behind the plate and bat ninth.

Campusano remains out of the lineup Wednesday versus the Giants.

There's no word of any injury, but Campusano is now on the bench for a third consecutive game. Brett Sullivan will start at catcher and bat ninth for the Padres on Wednesday in San Francisco.

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

Realmuto started the previous five games but will take a seat after the Phillies secured their spot in the playoffs with Tuesday's victory. Garrett Stubbs will step in behind the plate to catch for lefty Ranger Suarez.

Maile went 3-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 11-7 win over the Guardians.

Maile and the rest of the lineup overcame a short three-inning outing from starter Hunter Greene. The journeyman catcher belted a solo homer in the third third inning, then lashed a two-out, two-run single in the fifth that plated the game-winning run. Maile has six home runs, 25 RBI and a .723 OPS over 75 games.

The Giants recalled Bart from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

After losing Jakob Junis (neck) for the year, the Giants will opt to bolster their bench depth and add Bart as their third catcher on the active roster. The 26-year-old backstop went 0-for-9 during his most recent stint in the majors and doesn't figure to see regular playing time during the final week of the season.

Campusano is out of the lineup Tuesday at San Francisco.

Brett Sullivan will start behind the plate and bat ninth versus the Giants and left-hander Kyle Harrison. Campusano has slashed .359/.388/.500 in 67 plate appearances since the beginning of September, but this is the second straight absence for the 24-year-old catcher.

Bailey is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Padres.

Blake Sabol will start at catcher and bat eighth against the Padres and right-hander Seth Lugo. Bailey went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Monday's series opener and is slashing just .130/.190/.148 over his last 58 plate appearances dating back to Aug. 30.

Alvarez (finger) is starting at catcher and batting seventh Tuesday versus Miami.

Alvarez made an early exit from Sunday's series finale at Philadelphia because of a bruised finger on his left hand, but it was never a serious concern. He's gone hitless over his last six games and will try to snap that streak Tuesday against the Marlins and left-hander Braxton Garrett.
