Dingler is out of the lineup for the first game of Thursday's doubleheader in Colorado.

Tomas Nido will handle the catching duties for the first game of the day, but Dingler is expected to be back behind the plate for the nightcap.

Baldwin went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to the Reds.

He took Brent Suter deep in the fifth inning to get Atlanta on the board. Baldwin has been starting every third contest since Sean Murphy settled back into the top spot on the depth chart in mid-April, and over his last 12 games, the rookie backstop is batting an impressive .379 (11-for-29) with all three of his homers on the season. Murphy is slashing just .204/.295/.407 with a 32.8 percent strikeout rate in 61 plate appearances during that same period, so Baldwin could begin to push his way into a more even timeshare behind the plate.

Rutschman is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Minnesota.

Rutschman had started each of the previous eight contests, so he'll be given a rest for Thursday's matinee. Maverick Handley is starting at catcher and batting ninth for the Orioles in the series finale.

Heim is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Red Sox.

After starting at catcher or designated hitter in each of the Rangers' last 11 games, Heim will get a much-needed day off as Texas wraps up its series in Boston. Dustin Harris will get a turn as the Rangers' DH on Thursday while Tucker Barnhart handles catching duties.

Thaiss is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Royals.

Though Edgar Quero is viewed as the team's top backstop, the White Sox's willingness to deploy him as a designated hitter has allowed Thaiss to see more work than the typical No. 2 catcher. The left-handed-hitting Thaiss had started each of the last three games, but he'll be excluded from the lineup Thursday while the Royals send southpaw Kris Bubic to the hill.

Zavala, who is on Triple-A Worcester's 7-day injured list due to a left oblique strain, began a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Florida Complex League on Monday and went 1-for-3 with a double and a walk in his first game.

After failing to win a backup catcher job with Boston after attending spring training as a non-roster invitee, Zavala reported to Triple-A Worcester and batted .129 over nine games before being shelved in mid-April. Just under a month later, Zavala looks to be nearing a return to action, but he'll likely stick around in Florida for a few more rehab games before linking back up with Worcester.

Jeffers is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Orioles.

It's a routine day off for Jeffers, who started each of the previous five tilts. Christian Vazquez will do the catching and bat ninth as the Twins try to complete the sweep.

Wong is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Wong will get some rest for the day game after he went 1-for-4 with a run scored while catching all nine innings of Wednesday's 6-4 win. He'll give way to Carlos Narvaez behind the dish in the series finale.

The Cardinals are expected to activate Herrera (knee) from the 10-day injured list prior to Friday's contest against the Nationals, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Herrera has gone 9-for-23 with one home run and one double in six rehab games with Triple-A Memphis, splitting reps between catcher and designated hitter. Luken Baker has been optioned to Memphis, which frees up Herrera to DH against left-handers in addition to catching as the Cardinals ease him back into action following a month-long absence with a left knee bone bruise.

Diaz went 1-for-5 with a double and two RBI on Wednesday.

Diaz capped off a nine-run effort from the Astros' lineup, sending a double to left field to drive in two in the ninth inning. That extended his hitting streak to six games, during which he's gone 9-for-25 with four RBI, one home run and four runs scored. Diaz is still hitting just .222 across 121 plate appearances for the season, but his performance is picking up.
