Narvaez (hamstring) will undergo additional testing on his left hamstring Saturday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Narvaez was removed from Friday's win over the Dodgers in the bottom of the sixth inning after he experienced hamstring tightness while running to first base. If Narvaez is unable to play Saturday, Luke Maile could take over behind the dish for Milwaukee.

Narvaez left Friday's game against the Dodgers due to left hamstring tightness, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Narvaez suffered the injury while running out a single in the bottom of the sixth inning, and he was immediately removed from the game after reaching first base. Prior to his departure, he went 1-for-3 with a strikeout. It's not yet clear whether Narvaez will be forced to miss additional time.

Narvaez exited Friday's game against the Dodgers with an apparent left leg injury, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.

Narvaez singled in the bottom of the sixth inning, but he grabbed his left leg after reaching first base and was replaced by a pinch runner. The nature and severity of the issue aren't yet clear.

Contreras exited Friday's game against the Reds due to mild right thigh tightness, Russell Dorsey of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Contreras hit a single in the fifth inning Friday, but he exited with a trainer once he reached first base. While the Cubs described his injury as minor, it's not clear whether Contreras will be forced to miss additional time. Prior to his departure, Contreras went 2-for-3 with a double.

Realmuto was scratched from Friday's lineup against the Mets due to left hand soreness, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Realmuto was a late scratch Friday and was replaced behind the dish by Andrew Knapp. It's not yet clear whether Realmuto will be able to return to the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.

Nola is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Giants, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Nola is likely to eventually fill an important role for the Padres, as he's hit .270/.346/.460 through his first 128 games, numbers that would play anywhere, not just behind the plate. He made his season debut off the bench Wednesday after missing the start of the year with a broken finger and will wait at least one more day before making his first start of the year. Victor Caratini remains the starting catcher Friday with Yu Darvish on the mound.

Realmuto was scratched from the lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Mets for undisclosed reasons, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Andrew Knapp will replace him behind the plate. More information on Realmuto's absence should be made available Friday night.

Marchan was recalled by the Phillies on Friday.

Marchan will join the team with Didi Gregorius (ribs) landing on the COVID-19 injured list in a corresponding move. He's unlikely to get many opportunities during his time with the team, as he's stuck behind J.T. Realmuto and Andrew Knapp on the catcher depth chart.

Gomes will sit Friday against the Marlins, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Gomes and fellow catcher Alex Avila have now alternated starts for eight straight games. If the pattern continues, expect Gomes to return to the lineup Saturday but head back to the bench for Sunday's game.
