Aramis Garcia C | PHI
Phillies' Aramis Garcia: Joining big-league club
The Phillies selected Garcia's contract from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday.
J.T. Realmuto suffered a knee injury Friday against the Marlins and Garcia will come up to provide depth behind the plate. If Realmuto is forced to miss time, Garcia would be in line to share catching duties with Garrett Stubbs. That said, Garcia hasn't appeared in an MLB game since 2022 and is slashing .161/.215/.282 with Lehigh Valley this season.

J.T. Realmuto C | PHI
Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Sitting down Saturday
Realmuto (knee) isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Marlins.
Realmuto was taken out of Friday's contest after he fouled a ball off his left knee in the second inning. The team hasn't indicated that the 33-year-old will need to spend time on the injured list, though the issue is apparently severe enough to warrant a day off Saturday. Garrett Stubbs will catch for starting pitcher Aaron Nola.

Jose Herrera C | ARI
Diamondbacks' Jose Herrera: In Saturday's lineup
Herrera (head) will start at catcher and bat ninth Saturday versus Houston.
Herrera had to make an early exit from Friday's contest after getting hit in the head by Kyle Tucker's backswing, but the 27-year-old backstop appears to be fine entering Saturday's game. Since Aug. 20, he's gone 4-for-22 with four RBI and two runs scored.
