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

Torrens will get his first day off of the season after he started behind the plate in each of the Mets' first five games while going 4-for-14 with a home run, two doubles, one walk and two RBI. Hayden Senger will form a battery with starting pitcher Clay Holmes on Wednesday, but Torrens should see the bulk of the starts at catcher until Francisco Alvarez (hand) is ready to return from the injured list.

Kirk is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Kirk caught Tuesday's night game, so he'll receive a breather for Wednesday's afternoon tilt. Tyler Heineman will do the catching for the series finale.

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

Bart will take a seat as the Pirates and Rays wrap up their series with a day game after a night game. Endy Rodriguez will receive a turn behind the plate Wednesday.

Haase went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Royals.

With William Contreras serving as the Brewers' designated hitter, Haase picked up his first start of the season behind the dish. Haase provided some pop at the bottom of the order, putting Milwaukee on the board with a 419-foot blast off Michael Lorenzen in the third inning. Despite playing a big part in the leading the Brewers to their first win of 2025, Haase will likely see scant playing time during his second season in Milwaukee with Contreras coming off an All-Star campaign.

Jansen is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Pirates, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The Rays are playing a day game after a night game, so Jansen will get a breather. Ben Rortvedt will start at catcher and bat eighth for the matinee.

Jeffers is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

It's a routine day off for Jeffers, who has now been in the lineup for four of the first six contests of the season. The Twins will roll with Christian Vazquez at catcher and in the ninth spot in the batting order for Wednesday's game.

O'Hoppe is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

O'Hoppe is 0-for-4 with four strikeouts in his past two games and will head to the bench for Tuesday's contest. Travis d'Arnaud will step in behind the plate to catch for veteran righty Kyle Hendricks.

The Pirates designated Delay for assignment Tuesday.

The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Thomas Harrington, who is up to start Tuesday's game against the Rays. Delay is just a career .231/.295/.315 hitter over parts of three big-league seasons but could draw interest via waivers from a club in need of catching depth.

Heim is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Cincinnati.

Heim and Kyle Higashioka have now drawn three starts apiece in the Rangers' first six games of the season. It will likely continue to be a fairly even playing time split between the two catchers.

Wells will start at catcher and bat sixth in Tuesday's contest against the Diamondbacks.

After hitting leadoff on Opening Day, Wells has now batted sixth in three straight games, including in two straight against right-handed pitching. Paul Goldschmidt is again serving as the Yankees' leadoff hitter. The development dings Wells' fantasy outlook a bit, as he had appeared in line to be the team's regular leadoff hitter versus righties.
