The Marlins recalled Pereda from Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday.

Pereda will move up to the big leagues for the third time this season and will likely serve as the understudy to Ali Sanchez, who is expected to take over as the Marlins' No. 1 catcher after Nick Fortes (quadriceps) was placed on the 10-day injured list. During his previous stints with the Marlins, Sanchez appeared in just five games and went hitless in five at-bats. He's been productive in a part-time role at Jacksonville this season, slashing .310/.418/.458 over 184 plate appearances.

The Marlins placed Fortes on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a right quadriceps strain.

Miami recalled Jhonny Pereda from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move and will likely have him operate as the No. 2 option at catcher behind Ali Sanchez, who will make a second straight start Wednesday in place of Fortes. The 27-year-old Fortes had slashed .219/.246/.288 with two home runs, 18 RBI and 16 runs in 78 games before apparently suffering the injury at some point during his most recent start in Monday's 10-3 loss to the Reds.

Ruiz is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Giants, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.

Ruiz was due for a day off after catching each of the previous eight games. Riley Adams will be behind the plate for the Nationals on Wednesday.

Fortes (quadricep) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

Fortes will miss a second straight start after exiting Monday's 10-3 loss with a tight quad. He was available off the bench Tuesday and presumably will be again Wednesday. Ali Sanchez will draw another start at catcher for the Marlins.

Langeliers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

With Wednesday's series finale beginning at 3:37 p.m. ET, Langeliers will get a breather after he caught all nine innings of the Athletics' 5-1 loss Tuesday night. Kyle McCann will pick up a start behind the dish in Langeliers' place.

Lee is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

Lee logged all nine innings behind the plate in the White Sox's 5-1 win Tuesday night, so he'll be given a rest as the two teams wrap up their series Wednesday with a day game. Chuckie Robinson will handle catching duties for Chicago.

Diaz went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the Mets.

Diaz delivered a pair of RBI knocks and tallied his first multi-hit game since July 10. He's appeared in 14 games since that date and has hit just .159 with three RBI and three runs scored. Diaz is still batting .275 for the season while lowering his strikeout rate to 18.3 percent.

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

Amaya had started at catcher each of the past four days, so he'll be getting a breather Wednesday while the Cubs and Twins wrap up their series with an afternoon game after a night game. Christian Bethancourt will step in behind the plate in place of Amaya, who has gone 2-for-14 with a home run and a walk through his first five games this month.

Contreras went 3-for-4 with a walk, two doubles, a triple, two runs scored and four RBI in Tuesday's 10-0 rout of Atlanta.

It's the first time Contreras has banged out multiple extra-base hits in a game since July 1, when he went 3-for-5 with a double and a homer at Coors Field, and his first game with multiple RBI since July 10. The 26-year-old catcher is slashing .259/.385/.563 in 15 games since the All-Star break with a home run, five runs and eight RBI along with an 11:11 BB:K.

Kirk went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Orioles.

Kirk singled in the fourth inning and then gave the Blue Jays the lead with a three-run homer in the sixth. The long ball was his first since June 10, but he has hit safely in six of his past seven games with three multi-hit efforts. On the year, the 25-year-old is hitting .245 with three home runs and 32 RBI across 226 plate appearances.
