Adams went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Dodgers.

Adams rarely gets much playing time even as a backup catcher. He certainly hasn't hit his way into a larger role -- prior to Friday, he was 0-for-30 with 13 strikeouts over his previous 11 games, with his last hit being a homer May 6 versus the Guardians. The 28-year-old has a .103/.133/.276 slash line with three homers, eight RBI, six runs scored and one double over 21 contests this season, and he currently poses no threat to Keibert Ruiz's playing time.

Ruiz is not in the Nationals' starting lineup against the Dodgers on Friday.

Ruiz -- who went 1-for-12 over his last three starts -- will get a breather for Friday's series opener. Riley Adams will serve behind home plate and bat eighth while catching pitches from Nationals southpaw MacKenzie Gore.

Moreno was diagnosed with a hairline fracture in his right pointer finger, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Moreno landed on the 10-day injured list Thursday due to what was initially listed as a right hand contusion. Further tests showed a more serious injury, and it appears unlikely that he'll be activated off the IL when eligible June 27. A clearer timeline for Moreno's return should be established when he returns from baseball activities, but he is in jeopardy of being sidelined through the All-Star break. Aramis Garcia was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Thursday and will serve as the Diamondbacks' backup catcher behind Jose Herrera for as long as Moreno is sidelined.

Del Castillo was placed on Triple-A Reno's 7-day injured list Friday due to lower back discomfort, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.

Del Castillo spent over two months on the injured list to start the 2025 season due to a shoulder injury, but just 10 days after being reinstated, Del Castillo is back on the shelf due to a back injury. While the injury isn't expected to be a long-term issue, he'll be sidelined for at least one week.

Kelly is absent from the lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners.

Kelly had started each of the previous two contests but will get a breather for the series opener versus Seattle. Reese McGuire is catching and batting ninth for the Cubs on Friday.

Baldwin went 1-for-2 with two RBI and two walks in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Mets.

Baldwin drew multiple walks for the first time this season in a much-needed productive outing at the plate. The lefty-hitting backstop had gone just 3-for-25 (.120) with a lone RBI over his prior nine games to Thursday, but he's been able to hold down a strong-side platoon role at catcher with the righty-hitting Sean Murphy. Baldwin is slashing .287/.342/.462 with seven homers, four doubles and 21 RBI across 155 plate appearances on the year, while Murphy has a woeful .557 OPS over his last 48 at-bats.

Bart isn't in the lineup for the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against Detroit.

Bart will get a chance to rest Thursday evening after going 0-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts in the early game. Henry Davis will be on the receiving end of Paul Skenes' pitches while batting eighth in Game 2.

Realmuto isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game versus Miami, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Realmuto will get a breather during Thursday's series finale after going 1-for-5 with an RBI, a run scored and three strikeouts in Wednesday's contest. Rafael Marchan will catch for left-handed starter Cristopher Sanchez instead and bat eighth.

Knizner is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Guardians.

With Patrick Bailey returning from the injured list Wednesday, Knizner looks set to move back into the No. 2 role at catcher. While Bailey was on the shelf for the minimum 10 days, Knizner made six starts in eight games and went 2-for-18 with a solo home run, one walk and an additional run.

Herrera will start at catcher and bat ninth in Thursday's game against the Blue Jays.

Herrera will pick up his fourth straight start and looks set to operate as Arizona's No. 1 backstop for at least the next week after Gabriel Moreno (hand) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday. Though he's received positive reviews for his pitch framing and ability to control the running game, Herrera hasn't provided much of an impact at the plate over parts of four seasons in the big leagues. He's a career .199 hitter and has slugged just two home runs in 459 plate appearances.
