Davis went 2-for-3 in Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Phillies.

The 31-year-old, who collected a pair of singles Saturday, could work his way into a platoon with Michael Perez while starter Jacob Stallings (concussion) remains sidelined. Davis has slashed .253/.347/.331 at Triple-A with two homers in 176 plate appearances in 2021.

Trevino went 3-for-3 with two singles and a solo home run in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Orioles.

Trevino recorded the fourth three-hit game of his career Saturday night, with the highlight being his solo homer off Brooks Kriske that got the Rangers back into the game. Hopefully this performance spells the end of the backstop's slump, as Trevino entered play batting .077 in his last eight games.

Murphy is out of the lineup Saturday versus the Angels.

Murphy went 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout Friday and will take a seat for the second time in the past three games. Cal Raleigh will work behind the plate for Seattle.

Narvaez is not in Saturday's lineup against the Mets.

Manny Pina will start behind the dish and bat eighth. Narvaez is hitting .204 with zero home runs in 16 games this month.

Heim will sit Saturday against Baltimore.

Heim sits after making a pair of starts behind the plate. He's gone hitless in five straight games and has just three hits in his last 11, dragging his season slash line down to .188/.228/.341. Jose Trevino takes over at catcher.

Haase is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.

Haase has had a very encouraging season, but he's stumbling a bit down the stretch. He hasn't had a multi-hit game since he returned from an abdominal injury in late August, hitting .183/.244/.310 in 21 games over that stretch. Dustin Garneau will start behind the plate Saturday.

Gomes is not in Saturday's lineup against the Astros.

He is in the midst of a modest six-game hitting streak, batting .350 with one home run in 20 at-bats over that stretch. Sean Murphy will start behind the dish and bat eighth.

Vazquez will sit Saturday against the Yankees.

Vazquez sits after starting three straight games behind the plate. He's been in good form thus far in September, hitting .315/.351/.463 in 16 games. Kevin Plawecki will spell him behind the plate.

Stassi went 2-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Mariners.

Stassi slammed a two-run home run off Logan Gilbert in the fourth inning to put the Angels on the board. In addition, he drove in Jack Mayfield on a sixth-inning single. It was Stassi's first long ball since Aug. 19, and since that date he's batting .174. On the season, the catcher is slashing .251/.334/.434 with 12 home runs, 33 RBI and 43 runs scored in 302 plate appearances.

Ruiz went 3-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Friday's 8-7 loss to the Reds.

Ruiz launched a solo shot in the second inning, his second home run of the year and his first as a National. He's gone 15-for-30 (.500) with five multi-hit performances over his last seven games. The rookie catcher is now 19-for-63 (.302) in 17 games since being recalled from Triple-A Rochester.
