Nola isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Giants, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Nola went 2-for-3 with a run and an RBI during Tuesday's win over the Giants, but he'll take a seat for the second time in the last three games. Luis Campusano is starting at catcher and batting ninth.

Nido is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Nido will be on the bench for the second straight game to close out the regular season. Francisco Alvarez will replace him behind the dish.

Stubbs will start at catcher and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Astros.

With J.T. Realmuto handling designated-hitter duties in the regular-season finale, Stubbs will get the chance to make his second straight start behind the dish. Stubbs broke out of an 0-for-9 slump in Tuesday's 10-0 loss, going 1-for-2 with a walk.

Contreras isn't starting Wednesday against the Reds.

Contreras went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and a strikeout Tuesday against Cincinnati, and he'll retreat to the bench for Wednesday's season finale. P.J. Higgins is starting behind the plate and batting seventh.

D'Arnaud isn't starting Wednesday against the Marlins.

D'Arnaud started the last six games and hit .182 with two doubles, two runs, two RBI and seven strikeouts, but he'll get a day off during Wednesday's regular-season finale. William Contreras is starting behind the plate and batting cleanup.

Narvaez isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Diamondbacks.

Narvaez went 0-for-4 with a strikeout Tuesday and will head to the bench for the second time in the last three matchups. Victor Caratini is starting at catcher and batting eighth.

Adams isn't starting Wednesday against the Mets.

Adams went 1-for-5 with a two-run homer and four strikeouts over his last two games but will head to the bench for a second consecutive matchup to close out the regular season. Israel Pineda is starting behind the plate and batting ninth.

Stallings is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Stallings will give way to Nick Fortes behind the plate in the series finale after catching in Tuesday's 2-1 loss. Unless he's needed off the bench Wednesday, Stallings will close the 2022 campaign with a .223 average, four home runs, 34 RBI and 25 runs in 384 plate appearances.

Alvarez went 2-for-2 with a double and a solo home run in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Nationals.

The Mets scored seven runs in the first inning of the nightcap en route to an 8-0 win, so they emptied the bench in the sixth inning. Alvarez took over behind the plate and collected his first big-league hit by taking Carl Edwards deep to lead off the bottom of the frame. It's not yet clear whether New York plans on keeping the 20-year-old on its playoff roster as a bench bat, but Alvarez at least gave the team a glimpse of what he's capable of if he does stick around.

Contreras went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Reds.

Contreras is now up to 22 home runs with one more game on the schedule Wednesday. If the catcher plays in the afternoon contest, he'll need two long balls to tie his career high of 24, set back in 2019. Either way, it's been a solid season for Contreras, as the veteran has an .815 OPS across 113 games. It'll be his first OPS above .800 since that 2019 campaign, when he finished with a career-best .888 mark.
