Stallings went 0-for-4 with an RBI in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Dodgers.

He's slashing .161/.299/.179 with a double in his last 67 plate appearances. Stallings has seen more time off, starting only 11 of 16 games in August. Despite his recent woes, he ranks fourth in the National League with 45 RBI among catchers.

Diaz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.

Diaz was behind the plate for three of the Rockies' last four games, so he'll be getting some routine maintenance for the matinee contest at Coors Field. Dom Nunez will start at catcher and bat eighth.

McCann (back) isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Giants, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

The 31-year-old was scratched from Tuesday's lineup due to back spasms, and he'll remain out of the lineup Wednesday. Patrick Mazeika will start behind the dish and bat eighth, and McCann won't be available off the bench, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.

Barrera isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

Barrera will be out of the lineup for a third consecutive game as he continues to work in a timeshare at catcher. Riley Adams will remain behind the dish and bat eighth.

Adams went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run, three runs scored and three RBI in Tuesday's 12-6 win over the Blue Jays.

Facing the organization that traded him, Adams put together a classic revenge game, launching a solo shot off Trent Thornton in the fourth inning before adding a two-run double in the eighth. It was by far the 25-year-old's best performance in the majors so far, and since joining the Nats at the end of July, Adams is slashing a surprising .304/.385/.609 through 11 contests with two homers and six RBI.

Narvaez went 1-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a walk in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Cardinals.

Narvaez walked in the first inning and doubled off Adam Wainwright in the third inning, driving in Christian Yelich. He is batting .391 with a 1.119 OPS over his last seven games. On the season, the catcher is slashing .292/.378/.463 with 11 home runs, 40 RBI and 47 runs scored in 328 plate appearances. His .292 batting average and .841 OPS sit among the top catchers in all of baseball this season.

McCann is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Giants due to back spasms, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

McCann was a late scratch from the lineup due to the injury, and he should be considered day-to-day. With Tomas Nido (thumb) already on the injured list, Patrick Mazeika is the Mets' only healthy catcher for Tuesday's contest.

McCann was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against the Giants for unspecified reasons.

McCann was slated to start behind the plate, but he was excluded from the revised lineup released by the Mets shortly before first pitch. The 31-year-old should be considered day-to-day until the nature of his absence is revealed. Patrick Mazeika will catch for Marcus Stroman in San Francisco.

Nola will sit Tuesday against the Rockies, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Nola barely has the edge in playing time over Victor Caratini behind the plate at the moment. Caratini gets the nod Tuesday for the second time in three games and the 10th time in the Padres' last 21 contests.

D'Arnaud will sit Tuesday against the Marlins.

D'Arnaud sits for the third time in seven games since his return from a thumb injury. Stephen Vogt starts behind the plate in his absence.
