The Mets placed Nido on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a sprained left thumb, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

The same injury has previously forced Nido to the shelf on two other occasions in recent weeks, and it'll now result in his 2021 campaign coming to an end with five games still left on the Mets' schedule. New York called up Patrick Mazeika from Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move, and he'll serve as the No. 2 catcher behind James McCann the rest of the way. Nido concludes the 2021 campaign with a .222/.261/.327 slash line, three home runs, one stolen base, 16 runs and 13 RBI in 161 plate appearances over 58 games.

Narvaez isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

Narvaez started each of the last two games and went 1-for-8 with a walk and two strikeouts. Manny Pina will start behind the dish and bat eighth.

Perez will start at catcher and bat seventh Wednesday against the Cubs.

Though he'll be behind the plate Wednesday, Perez was on the bench for Tuesday's 8-6 win after Jacob Stallings (concussion) was reinstated from the injured list prior to the contest. Stallings is expected to reclaim the No. 1 catcher job now that he's healthy again, so Perez is likely looking at no more than two starts over the Pirates' final four contests following Wednesday's game.

Stallings isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

Stallings returned to the lineup Tuesday and went 2-for-4 with a run. Michael Perez will start behind the plate and bat seventh.

Fortes isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Fortes went 0-for-7 with three strikeouts across his last two appearances, and he'll be out of the lineup for a second consecutive game. Alex Jackson will start behind the dish and bat eighth.

Contreras (wrist) is starting Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

Contreras didn't start Tuesday's contest due to wrist soreness, but he appeared off the bench and went 0-for-1 as a pinch hitter. He'll start behind the plate and bat third Wednesday.

Barnhart isn't starting Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

Barnhart went 1-for-6 with an RBI, a walk and two strikeouts across the last two games. Tyler Stephenson will take his place at catcher while Delino DeShields serves as the designated hitter.

Ruiz isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

Ruiz will get a breather after he went 1-for-7 with an RBI and a walk across the last two games. Riley Adams will start behind the plate and bat seventh.

Diaz isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Diaz has recorded multi-hit performances in four of his last five appearances, and he went 8-for-17 with a double, two RBI and two strikeouts during that time. Dom Nunez will start behind the dish and bat eighth.

Fortes is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Fortes received the start in Game 1 and went 0-for-3 with a strikeout. Payton Henry will start behind the plate for Miami in the nightcap.
