Nido was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left thumb sprain, Mike Mayer of Metsmerized reports.

He had just returned from the 10-day injured list Friday from the exact same injury, so he may have aggravated his thumb in that first game back. Chance Sisco was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse to serve as the backup catcher behind Patrick Mazeika until James McCann (back) returns from the IL.

Narvaez went 1-for-4 with one RBI and a run scored in Monday's 3-1 win over the Giants.

Narvaez singled in the first inning, driving in Christian Yelich for the first run of the game. He later scored in the eighth inning on a sacrifice fly by Luis Urias. The catcher is batting .262 in the month of August with 11 RBI and 11 runs. He is among the MLB leaders in batting average (.284) and runs scored (49) for catchers.

Smith went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a strikeout in Monday's 5-3 win over Atlanta.

Smith smacked a solo home run to left in the second inning and added a single in the eighth. The two hits give the backstop his third multi-hit outing in his last four games, a stretch that's seen Smith go 8-for-15 with three home runs.

Raleigh isn't in the lineup Monday against the Astros.

Raleigh went 1-for-6 with an RBI, a walk and two strikeouts across the last two games and will get a day off Monday. Tom Murphy will start at catcher and bat ninth.

Gomes went 2-for-4 with a run in a win over the Yankees on Sunday.

The veteran backstop has hit safely in five of his last six starts, a span during which he's now recorded a trio of multi-hit efforts. Gomes is a more complete offensive player than fellow catcher Sean Murphy, but both should continue to see regular playing time, with the latter occasionally slotting in as a designated hitter as well.

Realmuto (ankle) will sit Monday against Washington.

Realmuto missed Saturday's game due to a shoulder issue and left Sunday's contest with a sore ankle. He'll get the day off to recover from both injuries, with Rafael Marchan starting behind the plate. The Phillies don't expect Realmuto to require a trip to the injured list, per Todd Zolecki of MLB.com. He could be available to pinch hit Monday and is expected to return to the lineup at first base Tuesday.

Trevino isn't starting Monday's game against Colorado.

Trevino doubled in four of his last five games and went 6-for-20 with four doubles, three runs and three RBI during that time. Yohel Pozo will take his place behind the dish and bat eighth.

Barnhart is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

The lefty-hitting Barnhart will remain on the bench for the second game in a row while the Cardinals bring a southpaw (Jon Lester) to the hill. Barnhart's platoon mate, Tyler Stephenson, will start at catcher and bat second in the series opener.

The Nationals confirmed that Ruiz was recalled from Triple-A Rochester ahead of Monday's game against the Phillies.

Washington has yet to release its lineup for the series opener, but it's expected to include Ruiz, who should take over as the team's everyday catcher moving forward. Between stops at Rochester and at the Dodgers' Triple-A affiliate in Oklahoma City this season, the 23-year-old Ruiz hit .310 with 21 home runs and 59 RBI in 72 games.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Monday that Rogers (forearm) may not have time to return from the 60-day injured list before the end of the season, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Rogers has been out since mid-July with a strained right forearm. Reports from mid-August indicated that he was approximately a month away from returning, but he evidently hasn't progressed quite as quickly as the Tigers had hoped. The team is now less optimistic that he'll play again this season, though he's yet to be officially shut down.
