Sabol went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Dodgers.

The steal was Sabol's first at the big-league level. He stole a combined 10 bases between the Double-A and Triple-A circuits last season, so there's at least modest speed in his profile. The 25-year-old catcher/outfielder is slashing .194/.265/.290 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored through 34 plate appearances. With prospect Heliot Ramos in the majors, Sabol will likely serve as a backup to Joey Bart rather than a starter in left field.

Herrera is starting at catcher and batting ninth for the Diamondbacks in Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

It's the fourth start of the season for the backup catcher. Herrera is off to a 4-for-10 start at the plate.

Moreno is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

Moreno appears to be receiving a standard rest day with the Diamondbacks and Brewers concluding their series with an afternoon contest. Jose Herrera will catch for starting pitcher Drey Jameson on Wednesday.

Campusano went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs in Tuesday's 4-2 win against the Mets.

Campusano came into the contest having gone 1-for-11 on the campaign, and the first three-hit game of his career boosted his season average all the way up to .267. The trio of base knocks didn't come cheaply, as all three left Campusano's bat at least 98.5 mph, per Dennis Lin of The Athletic. Austin Nola has been the clear No. 1 option behind the plate for San Diego this season with eight starts through the team's first 12 games, and he's back in the lineup for Wednesday's series finale. However, Nola is slashing a meager .115/.207/.115 thus far in 2023, so Campusano could start to see more opportunities if the former's offense doesn't pick up.

Diaz is out of the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Cardinals.

Diaz will get a breather after he went 3-for-7 with a solo home run, a walk and three runs scored over the first two contests of the series. Brian Serven will take over behind the plate and bat ninth in the series finale.

Amaya (foot) has started at catcher in two of Double-A Tennessee's first four games, going 1-for-7 with a solo home run.

Amaya didn't make an appearance during the Cubs' Cactus League slate until March 28, but he showed enough improvement in his recovery from the Lisfranc fracture in his left foot that he suffered while playing with the Double-A club last September to avoid a stint on the injured list to open the 2023 campaign. The 23-year-old was limited to serving exclusively as a designated hitter in 2022 after he returned from Tommy John surgery, but he looks like he'll be able to play catcher on a full-time basis this season.

Gomes is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's series finale with the Mariners, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Gomes will take a seat after he went 2-for-9 with an RBI and a run scored over the first two games of the series. Tucker Barnhart will replace him at catcher and bat ninth against Seattle.

Delay is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

Delay will be getting a breather after going 0-for-2 with a walk while catching all nine innings of Tuesday's 7-4 win. Tyler Heineman replaces Delay behind the dish for the series finale.

Diaz went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Tuesday against the Cardinals.

Diaz took Miles Mikolas yard in the fourth inning to tally his second homer of the season. He now has hits in six consecutive games, and he's gone 9-for-19 with five RBI and six homers in that span. While he was expected to be in a timeshare behind the plate with Brian Serven this season, Diaz has started 10 of 12 games early on.

Contreras isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Arizona.

Contreras has gotten off to a very impressive start to the season, recording a base hit in each of the eight games he's played in so far. He'll get the day off against Merrill Kelly, allowing Victor Caratini to pick up a start behind the dish and bat sixth.
