Smith went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double and a second run scored in Tuesday's 8-6 win over the Padres.

Smith put the Dodgers ahead 5-3 with his sixth-inning blast. The catcher has logged five multi-hit efforts and six extra-base hits over his last nine games, going 13-for-36 (.361) in that span. Smith's .947 OPS ranks second among all qualified catchers in the majors this season, trailing only Cal Raleigh (.998). Smith is also batting .330 with seven homers, 40 RBI, 35 runs scored, 14 doubles, two stolen bases and one triple over 58 contests.

Moreno was scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against Toronto due to right hand soreness, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Moreno will take a day off Tuesday to give his hand time to recover. Meanwhile, Jose Herrera will fill in behind the dish and bat ninth for Arizona.

The Pirates reinstated Bart (concussion) from the injured list Tuesday.

Bart landed on the 7-day concussion IL in late May, but lingering symptoms caused his recovery to extend well into June. He was cleared to begin a rehab assignment Wednesday and went 3-for-13 with four walks, two RBI and a run scored across five minor-league games. Now out of concussion protocol and fully healthy, Bart should slide back in as Pittsburgh's primary catcher.

Marchan went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Monday's 5-2 victory over the Marlins.

Marchan's playing time has been scarce in 2025 -- he's appeared in only 19 games -- but he's been effective lately when called upon to fill in for J.T. Realmuto as Philadelphia's backup catcher. Over his last 26 plate appearances (10 games), the switch-hitting backstop is slashing .261/.346/.478 with one home run, two doubles, three RBI and four runs scored. With Realmuto healthy, however, Marchan doesn't have a clear pathway to consistent at-bats.

Goodman went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Monday's 6-4 win over the Nationals.

Goodman's great month of June continued after his second multi-homer game of the season. The 25-year-old has five doubles, two triples, five homers and 13 RBI while batting .364 this month. The catcher's .846 OPS is third-best in MLB among catchers.

Realmuto is not in the lineup for Monday's game in Miami.

Realmuto will get a routine day off after he started at catcher in each of the previous six contests. Rafael Marchan will be behind the dish and bat eighth for the Phillies in Monday's series opener.

The Pirates designated Sullivan for assignment Monday.

The club needed to free up a spot on the 40-man roster for Dauri Moreta (elbow), who was activated from the 60-day injured list. Booting Sullivan from the active roster suggests the Pirates are preparing for Joey Bart (concussion) to be activated prior to Tuesday's game in Detroit.

Ruiz is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies.

Ruiz remains the Nationals' No. 1 backstop, but he's been sitting against left-handed starting pitchers more frequently of late while manager Dave Martinez looks to keep backup catcher Riley Adams involved. Adams will be behind the plate Monday as the Nationals face off against southpaw Carson Palmquist, but Ruiz will likely re-enter the lineup Tuesday versus righty Antonio Senzatela.

Fortes went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's win over the Nationals.

The 28-year-old catcher has a five-game hit streak going, during which he's gone 9-for-17 (.529) with a double, a homer, four runs and four RBI. Fortes has become primarily a short-side platoon player as the Marlins also try to find playing time for Agustin Ramirez and Liam Hicks behind the plate, but the role may be agreeing with him.

Fulford went 2-for-2 with a walk, a triple, five RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 10-1 win over Atlanta.

Fulford has served as the Rockies' backup catcher since June 6, when he was promoted from Triple-A Albuquerque following the release of Jacob Stallings was released. The rookie has started only three of nine games since his promotion, but he made a strong case for earning more work after his big performance Sunday. Even so, Hunter Goodman is still likely to dominant the playing time behind the dish moving forward.
