Manager Jayce Tingler said Monday that it's "safe to assume" Nola (knee) won't return until after the All-Star break, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

The 31-year-old is catching a couple bullpen sessions Monday and continues to progress slowly as he returns from the knee sprain he suffered in late May. Nola may need to begin a rehab assignment soon to have a chance of being activated immediately after the All-Star break, which ends July 16.

Realmuto is on the bench for Monday's series opener against the Cubs, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

The 30-year-old went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday, snapping out of a 2-for-25 stretch in his previous six games. Switch-hitting Andrew Knapp will start at catcher Monday.

Tromp was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, Mark W. Sanchez of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

Tromp appeared in three games with the major-league club in early June, and he went 4-for-9 with a home run, two RBI and two strikeouts. He isn't starting Monday's game against the Cardinals, but he should be available as a depth option behind the dish after Buster Posey (thumb) exited Sunday's win over Arizona.

Barnhart is on the bench for Monday's game against the Royals, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

He sits after going 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI in Sunday's contest, raising his batting average to a respectable .269 on the season. Tyler Stephenson is catching and batting cleanup in the series opener Monday.

Realmuto went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 11-1 loss to the Padres.

The Phillies were unable to generate much offensive production Sunday, but Realmuto provided the team's lone run with his solo blast in the bottom of the sixth. The 30-year-old had hit just .080 with four strikeouts across the six games leading up to Sunday's matchup, but he's now recorded extra-base hits in each of the last two contests.

Leon went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-7 extra-inning loss to Atlanta.

Leon went yard in the ninth inning for his second homer of the season. Playing time remains scarce for the backup catcher, who has just 17 at-bats in the last two weeks. He's batting .182 with seven RBI, seven runs scored and three doubles through 130 plate appearances overall.

Diaz is out of the lineup Sunday versus the Cardinals.

Diaz started six of the past seven games and will receive the day off Sunday. Dom Nunez will work behind the plate in his place.

McCann is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Yankees, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

McCann was never likely to start both games of Sunday's twin bill, and he'll take a seat during the matinee. Tomas Nido will catch in the afternoon contest for the Mets.

Stallings is not in the lineup Sunday versus Milwaukee, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Stallings started the past three games and will take a seat for Sunday afternoon's series finale against the Brewers. Michael Perez will work behind the plate in his place.

Caratini is out of the lineup Sunday against the Phillies.

Caratini started the first two games of the series and will take a seat for the finale after going 1-for-6 with a walk. Webster Rivas will start behind the plate in his place Sunday.
