  • Sean Murphy C | ATL

    Braves' Sean Murphy: On bench Wednesday

    Murphy is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.

    After making back-to-back starts behind the dish, Murphy will give way to Travis d'Arnaud on Wednesday. Murphy swatted a solo home run in Tuesday's series opener against San Francisco.

  • Pirates' Yasmani Grandal: Taking seat Wednesday

    Grandal is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

    Grandal will yield to Joey Bart behind the dish Wednesday. Grandal has logged merely three hits in his last 23 at-bats with two RBI and no runs.

  • Reds' Tyler Stephenson: Returns to action

    Stephenson started at catcher, batted fifth and went 0-for-3 with a walk in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Yankees.

    Stephenson's availability to play was thrown into doubt after the Reds transferred him from the paternity list to the family medical emergency list. The transfer gave the Reds the option to not activate Stephenson for Tuesday, but the catcher was ready to go.

  • Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Hitting on field Tuesday

    Realmuto (knee) participated in receiving drills and hit on the field ahead of Thursday's road game against the Cubs, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    The veteran catcher has recently been hitting in the batting cage but is now ready to hit on the field for the first time since undergoing meniscus surgery June 12. Realmuto still has significant work to do in his rehab program, but a return shortly after the All-Star break appears to be a reasonable target for his activation.

  • Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Activated from injured list

    The Diamondbacks reinstated Moreno (thumb) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

    The 24-year-old landed on the shelf with a sprained thumb June 22 and will rejoin Arizona after being on the injured list for the 10-day minimum. Moreno has a .230/.313/.346 slash line through 61 games this season and should reclaim primary catching duties for the Diamondbacks.

  • Miguel Amaya C | CHC

    Cubs' Miguel Amaya: Not starting Tuesday

    Amaya isn't in the Cubs' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies.

    Amaya will take a seat Tuesday after going just 1-for-10 at the plate over his last four games. Tomas Nido will start at catcher instead while batting ninth.

  • Pirates' Endy Rodriguez: Hitting live BP

    Rodriguez (elbow) has taken live BP from the left side, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Rodriguez underwent elbow surgery in December and is slated to miss the entirety of the 2024 season. He slashed .220/.284/.328 as a rookie last season.

  • Austin Wynns C | CIN

    Reds' Austin Wynns: Cut from 40-man roster

    The Reds designated Wynns for assignment Tuesday.

    Wynns was up as protection at catcher for a few days while Tyler Stephenson was away but is no longer needed with the latter back in the fold. He cleared waivers and accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Louisville last month, and he seems likely to do so again.

  • Reds' Tyler Stephenson: Rejoins roster

    The Reds activated Stephenson (personal) from the family medical emergency list Tuesday.

    Stephenson was away from the club for a few days following the birth of his child but is back for the start of its series in New York against the Yankees. Austin Wynns was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

  • Keibert Ruiz C | WAS

    Nationals' Keibert Ruiz: Three hits in Monday's loss

    Ruiz went 3-for-5 with an RBI in Monday's extra-inning loss to the Mets.

    It was the backstop's first three-hit performance since March 30, but his third multi-hit effort in his last five starts. Ruiz is showing signs of life at the plate, and over his last 11 games he's batting .289 (11-for-38) with three doubles.
