Romo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second RBI in Wednesday's 5-0 win over the Reds.

Romo hit a solo shot in the third inning and an RBI single in the eighth. Prior to the two-RBI effort, Romo had gone 0-for-13 with five strikeouts over his first four games in August. Since Joey Bart joined Kyle Teel (ankle) on the injured list Friday after fracturing his right hand, Romo has made two starts to Edgar Quero's three, though all of Quero's have come against left-handed pitching. The two backstops will likely continue to split time fairly equitably, though Wednesday's performance could boost Romo's chances of emerging as the preferred option against right-handed pitching. For the season, Romo is batting just .136 with a .508 OPS, six home runs, 13 RBI, 13 runs scored and one stolen base over 48 contests.

Wong is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

Wong is on the bench for the second straight game and is expected to see his playing time take a major hit after the Red Sox activated their big trade-deadline pickup, Adley Rutschman, off the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Rutschman should handle a near-everyday role behind the plate now that he's healthy again, likely leaving Wong in line for little more than a start or two per week.

Heineman isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Heineman will retreat to the bench after going 0-for-3 at the plate across the first two games of the series. Moises Ballesteros will fill in as the Angels' backstop, moving Zach Neto into the DH spot while Oswald Peraza starts at short.

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

The switch-hitting Ruiz has fairly even splits against right- and left-handed pitching both this season and throughout his career, but he'll still sit against a southpaw starter (David Peterson) for the second straight day. The Nationals may just have wanted to open up another start at catcher for the 23-year-old Harry Ford, who bats from the right side and had fared better against lefties at Triple-A Rochester this season prior to being recalled July 17.

Davis will start at catcher and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

Davis will be making his fourth straight start behind the dish while Endy Rodriguez continues to miss time while nursing a hip injury. The Pirates are treating Rodriguez as day-to-day, and if Rodriguez is able to avoid a trip to the injured list and return to the lineup in the near future, Davis will likely see his playing time fall by the wayside.

Rodriguez (hip) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

Rodriguez will be relegated to the bench for a fifth consecutive game while he contends with left hip discomfort. Henry Davis will get another start at catcher in place of Rodriguez, whom the Pirates are viewing as day-to-day.

Bailey is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

Bailey will get a breather after he started behind the plate in the Guardians' previous two contests. The Guardians will turn to Austin Hedges to handle catching duties Wednesday.

Campusano is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

Campusano will rest up for Wednesday's matinee after he caught all nine innings of the Padres' 11-2 win Tuesday night while going 3-for-4 with a home run, a walk, three RBI and an additional run. Freddy Fermin will spell Campusano behind the dish in the series finale.

Stephenson is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the White Sox.

It's routine day off after Stephenson started each of the last two games. Jose Trevino will do the catching and bat seventh for the Reds.

The Mariners claimed MacIver off waivers from the Blue Jays on Wednesday.

MacIver will report to Triple-A Tacoma, where he will provide the Mariners with some catching depth. The 29-year-old has hit .270/.344/.459 at the Triple-A level in 2026.
