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

After a recent one-game absence due to a wrist injury, Moreno stepped back in behind the dish for the first two contests of the series in Pittsburgh, going 2-for-8 with a walk, a stolen base and a run. He'll get a breather for Sunday's finale while Jose Herrera handles catching duties.

Fortes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game in Atlanta.

Fortes and Ali Sanchez have now alternated turns behind the plate over the Marlins' last eight games, with both backstops getting four starts apiece. Since the All-Star break, Fortes has posted a .902 OPS compared to Sanchez's .063 mark during that same stretch, so Fortes should still be viewed as the Marlins' preferred option at catcher.

Stephenson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Stephenson had started at either catcher or designated hitter in each of the Reds' last 10 games, so he'll be getting a well-deserved day off while Cincinnati and San Francisco wrap up their series with a game that begins at 12:05 p.m. ET. Luke Maile will check in behind the dish in place of Stephenson, who ended a 10-game streak without an extra-base hit by slugging two home runs in Saturday's 6-4 win.

Stephenson went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs and four RBI in Saturday's 6-4 win against San Francisco.

Stephenson kicked off the scoring with a solo shot in the second inning and added a three-run blast in the fourth. The homers were the first extra-base hits of any kind for the backstop over his past 11 games, and the four RBI were twice as many as he had accounted for over his previous 15 contests combined. This was Stephenson's second multi-homer performance of the campaign, and with his two long balls Saturday he's at 13 on the season, tying the career-high mark he established last year.

Stallings hit a solo home run as a pinch hitter in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Padres.

Stallings' eighth-inning blast brought the Rockies within a run, but they failed to tie the game. The backup catcher went 8-for-19 over a five-game span from July 20-26, but he followed it up with an 0-for-8 skid before Saturday's homer. For the year, he's at a .265/.367/.453 slash line with six homers, 26 RBI, 22 runs scored, 12 doubles and no stolen bases over 60 contests. Despite those decent numbers, he remains behind Elias Diaz on the depth chart at catcher.

Alvarez isn't in the Mets' lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels.

Alvarez will get a chance to regroup Saturday after going just 2-for-20 with a home run over his last five games. While he rests, Luis Torrens will catch for left-hander David Peterson and bat seventh.

Higashioka isn't in the Padres' lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies.

Higashioka's brief three-game hitting streak came to an end with an 0-for-3 performance Friday, and he'll now take a seat while Luis Campusano catches for Martin Perez.

Bethancourt went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Friday's 6-3 win over the Cardinals.

Bethancourt provided a key blast against new St. Louis starter Erick Fedde, which proved to be the difference in the game. It was just the third home run of the season for Bethancourt, who is batting .183 with a .547 OPS while playing for both the Marlins and now the Cubs. However, in four games since having his contract selected from Triple-A Iowa, the catcher has gone 4-for-11 with two extra-base hits and four RBI. Bethancourt will likely slow down at some point, and his fantasy appeal is limited by his timeshare with Miguel Amaya behind the plate.

Moreno (wrist) is starting behind the plate and batting sixth Friday against the Pirates.

The 24-year-old was on the bench Wednesday after being struck in the wrist by a foul ball during Tuesday's contest, but he's back in the starting nine after Arizona's team day off Thursday. Moreno delivered his most productive month of the season in July with six doubles, a homer, 14 RBI, 11 runs and an .864 OPS in 22 games.

Ruiz (groin) will start at catcher and bat sixth in Friday's game versus the Brewers, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.

Ruiz had to depart the Nationals' last game on Wednesday in Arizona with a groin injury, but he won't wind up missing any starts. The switch-hitting catcher hit four home runs in July, doubling his season total.
