Murphy is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Murphy owns an .817 OPS for the season, but with rookie Drake Baldwin sporting an even hotter bat (.983 OPS), the playing time behind the dish has begun to tilt in the youngster's favor. The two backstops seem to be moving into a loose platoon behind the dish, as the right-handed-hitting Murphy has made each of his last three starts against left-handed pitching but now finds himself out of the lineup for a fifth straight matchup with a righty (Trevor Williams).

Hedges will start at catcher and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Twins.

Earlier in the day, top backstop Bo Naylor caught the final six innings of the Guardians' 6-5 loss, which was the resumption of a game that was initially suspended Monday in the fourth inning. Since the Guardians and Twins are essentially playing a doubleheader Wednesday, Naylor will get some rest for the second contest of the day, allowing Hedges to pick up his 16th start of the season. Hedges is batting just .143, but he'll continue to get occasional starts versus lefties and when Naylor requires rest.

Naylor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

Earlier Wednesday, the Guardians resumed their series opener with the Twins that had been suspended in the fourth inning Monday. Since Naylor caught six innings earlier in the day, he'll take a seat for the series finale, which is essentially the second game of a doubleheader. Austin Hedges will handle catching duties in Naylor's stead.

Alvarez is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Boston.

After starting each of the last three games, Alvarez will get a breather in Wednesday's series finale. The Mets will turn to Luis Torrens at catcher as they try to avoid being swept.

Triple-A Albuquerque reinstated Romo (finger) from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

Romo didn't play Tuesday in Albuquerque's 7-6 loss to Reno, but the 23-year-old backstop is healthy again after a finger injury sidelined him for the first seven weeks of the season. He was cleared to report to Albuquerque after going 3-for-16 with a walk, a stolen base, two runs and an RBI over five rehab games in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League.

Quero is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

Quero will get a breather for the day game after he had started at either catcher or designated hitter in four of Chicago's last five contests. Matt Thaiss will get the nod behind the plate Wednesday while Andrew Vaughn serves as the White Sox's designated hitter.

Caratini is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

Caratini was behind the dish for the first two games of the series, but he'll get a breather for the Wednesday afternoon contest while Yainer Diaz handles the catching duties. Until Yordan Alvarez (hand) returns from the injured list, the Astros should have regular spots in the lineup available for both Diaz and Caratini at either catcher or designated hitter. Caratini had started in nine of the Astros' previous 11 games.

Hicks is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

Over the past month, Hicks has slashed .372/.413/.744 over a stretch of 13 games and has earned a larger role as a result, but he's still not locked into a full-time role while the Marlins have Agustin Ramirez and Nick Fortes on hand at catcher and a number of other options available to handle designated-hitter duties. Hicks will remain on the bench for a second straight game with Ramirez handling catching duties Wednesday and with Matt Mervis getting the nod at DH.

Kelly is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

With Miguel Amaya running hot at the plate of late, Cubs manager Craig Counsell has turned the catcher spot into more of a timeshare. Kelly will take a seat for the second time in the series while Amaya gets a chance to build on the five-RBI performance he delivered in Monday's 8-7 loss.

Contreras is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Orioles.

Contreras will get a rare day off after starting in each of the last 11 games, with all but one coming at catcher. Eric Haase will fill in behind the dish and bat sixth as the Brewers try to complete the sweep.
