Realmuto is batting eighth for the first time since 2022 on Tuesday against Atlanta, Charlotte Varnes of The Athletic reports.

The veteran backstop has a .684 OPS this season and is batting .172 (5-for-29) with a 31 percent strikeout rate in his past six games, so he'll move down the lineup after primarily operating as Philadelphia's leadoff man to begin the season. Manager Rob Thomson said he wanted to "take the pressure off" Realmuto as he works on a leg kick and improving his timing.

Smith is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians.

Smith started the previous two games -- and went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run and two walks Monday -- but will take a seat for Tuesday's matchup against Cleveland. Dalton Rushing will bat eighth and step in behind the plate to catch for Dustin May.

Rutschman (head) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

It's the second straight game on the bench for Rutschman after he took a foul tip to the mask Sunday against the Red Sox. According to Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun, interim manager Tony Mansolino said Rutschman is scheduled to take batting practice Tuesday, weather permitting, and could be back in the lineup soon.

Lee (ankle) was activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game against the Mets.

Backup catcher Matt Thaiss was traded to the Rays for a low-level prospect (Dru Baker) Tuesday in advance of Lee's activation. Edgar Quero should continue to play more than Lee, although Quero could start getting another start or two at designated hitter each week to provide Lee with more opportunities. Lee hit .333 with a .417 BABIP and zero home runs in 17 plate appearances before landing on the shelf. He hit .302 with two home runs in 11 rehab games.

Thaiss was traded from the White Sox to the Rays on Tuesday in exchange for Dru Baker.

Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times speculates that Ben Rortvedt's roster spot will be in jeopardy when Thaiss joins the team, so the latter appears set to take over as Danny Jansen's backup. The lefty-hitting Thaiss slashed .212/.382/.294 with one home run, one steal and more walks (23) than strikeouts (21) in 110 plate appearances with the White Sox.

Jansen went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Monday against the Twins.

Jansen had a slow start to the season at the plate and had only one home run across his first 28 games. However, in his last nine contests beginning May 13, he has slugged three homers while hitting .310 to go along with six RBI and five runs scored.

Smith went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run and two walks versus Cleveland in a 7-2 win Monday.

Smith capped the scoring in the contest with a 409-foot solo shot in the ninth inning. The backstop has belted a modest five homers on the season, but he's been among baseball's most reliable hitters by other metrics. Smith ranks second in the majors in both OBP (.456) and walk rate (18.1 percent). He also leads MLB with a .476 batting average with runners in scoring position, going 20-for-42 with 25 RBI in those situations.

O'Hoppe was removed from Monday's 5-1 loss to the Yankees after being struck in the head by a backswing during the eighth inning, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Angels manager Ron Washington said after the game that O'Hoppe was removed simply as a precaution. However, the 25-year-old will be re-evaluated Tuesday to see how he feels ahead of the second game of the series. Travis d'Arnaud would be in line for a start behind the dish if O'Hoppe isn't ready to play.

Moreno went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Monday's 5-0 win over the Pirates.

Over his last nine games, Moreno is 13-for-32 (.406) with three home runs, three doubles, six RBI and eight runs scored. The catcher was one of three Diamondbacks to post a multi-hit effort in Monday's win. Moreno's surge at the plate has him up to a .277/.338/.411 slash line over 44 contests this season.

Stephenson went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Monday's 2-1 win over the Royals.

It was the first three-hit game of the season by Stephenson, who also racked up a season-high three RBI. Monday also marked the 28-year-old backstop's first long ball since May 4, and he's now slashing .209/.312/.373 with two big flies, five doubles, nine RBI and eight runs scored through 77 plate appearances this season. Stephenson is still searching for a rhythm at the plate after missing the onset of the year due to an oblique strain, but he continues to operate as Cincinnati's primary catcher.
