Narvaez is on the bench for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Narvaez has hit .323 with a double, two home runs and nine RBI in his last 10 games. Manny Pina is starting behind the dish and batting eighth Sunday.

Leon will start at catcher and bat seventh Sunday against the Reds, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

He'll crack the starting nine for the first time since Aug. 10. After the Marlins acquired Alex Jackson from Atlanta at the July 30 trade deadline and added him to the active roster shortly thereafter, Leon has fallen from second to third on the depth chart at catcher behind Jackson and Jorge Alfaro.

Diaz is on the bench for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Diaz gets a day off after hitting a home run and driving in three runs Saturday. Dom Nunez is catching and batting eighth in Sunday's series finale.

Stallings is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Jake Crouse of MLB.com reports.

Stallings has struggled lately at the plate, hitting .156 with no extra-base hits in his last 10 games. Michael Perez is catching and batting seventh Sunday.

Jackson is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Jackson gets a day off after striking out in 21 of his last 32 at-bats. He's tallied five hits, one of which was a home run, in that nine-game span. Sandy Leon is behind the dish and batting seventh for Sunday's series finale.

Barnhart is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Consecutive hitless performances have lowered Barnhart's average to .273 in the last 10 games. He has a home run, three doubles and five RBI in that span. Tyler Stephenson is catching and batting second Sunday.

Realmuto isn't starting Saturday's game against the Padres, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Realmuto had drawn seven consecutive starts, but he'll get a day off after he went 1-for-15 with a double, a run and an RBI across his last four appearances. Andrew Knapp will start at catcher and bat eighth.

Adams is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Brewers, Matt Weyrich of NBC Sports Washington reports.

The 25-year-old takes a seat after going 6-for-11 with two doubles, a home run and four RBI in his last three games. Tres Barrera is catching and batting seventh Saturday.

Contreras was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.

Contreras will serve as a right-handed bat behind the dish for Atlanta, but he may see the lesser share of the playing time behind Stephen Vogt after Travis d'Arnaud was placed on the paternity list Saturday. The 23-year-old has hit .204 with seven home runs, 21 RBI and 16 runs in 44 major-league games this year.

D'Arnaud was placed on the paternity list Saturday.

D'Arnaud was productive in Friday's series opener against the Orioles with a two-run homer, but he'll be away from the team for up to three games following the birth of his child. Stephen Vogt will likely serve as the primary catcher in his absence, while William Contreras was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett.
