Nola is not in the starting lineup against the Twins on Wednesday.

Nola will take a seat after going 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored in the victory over Minnesota on Tuesday. Brett Sullivan is starting behind the plate and hitting ninth for Wednesday's affair.

Nido is expected to be placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a vision issue, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Officially, Nido is dealing with "dry eye syndrome" and is expected to be OK in 3-to-4 days, per Tim Healey of Newsday. Michael Perez will replace him on the roster. Francisco Alvarez will be the Mets' primary catcher.

The Mets selected Perez's contract from Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Mike Puma of the New York Post notes that Tomas Nido is not listed on the Mets' depth chart, so it appears Perez is taking his roster spot. Perez has batted just .153/.261/.254 with two home runs at Triple-A Syracuse this season.

D'Arnaud is starting at catcher and batting seventh for Atlanta on Wednesday versus the Red Sox, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

It's the first start since early April for d'Arnaud, who returned earlier this week from a concussion. Sean Murphy is also in the lineup at designated hitter.

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

Jose Herrera will step in behind the plate for the series finale after Moreno started at catcher Monday and Tuesday. Moreno went 4-for-7 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base between those contests and is now slashing .315/.330/.402 in 97 plate appearances on the season.

Ruiz is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Giants, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Ruiz will sit out the series finale after going 2-for-8 with a walk over the first two games against San Francisco. Riley Adams will be the starting backstop for Wednesday's contest and hit ninth.

Fortes is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Arizona, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Fortes started the first two games of the series against the Diamondbacks and went 1-for-8 with a run scored. Jacob Stallings gets the start behind the plate Wednesday, batting eighth.

Diaz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

After starting behind the dish in both of the first two games of the series against his former team, Diaz will get a routine maintenance day for the finale in Pittsburgh. Austin Wynns will pick up the start at catcher in place of Diaz, who went 1-for-3 with two walks and two runs in Tuesday's 10-1 win.

Murphy went 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored and four RBI in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Red Sox.

The former Oakland catcher was just named NL Player of the Week, but he isn't resting on his laurels. Murphy has racked up five multi-hit performances in the last nine games, batting a thunderous .414 (12-for-29) over that stretch with two doubles, three homers, six runs and an incredible 16 RBI, and he now leads the entire National League in that category with 32 runs driven in.

Alvarez went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Reds.

He took Luke Weaver deep in both the third and sixth innings, giving the 21-year-old backstop his first career multi-homer game in the majors. Alvarez has gotten comfortable at the plate for the Mets after a sluggish couple of weeks following his promotion, and over his last 12 games he's batting .323 (10-for-31) with two doubles, three home runs, five RBI and six runs.
