Herrera went 3-for-4 with a run and a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-2 win against the Pirates.

Herrera and Nolan Arenado both had three hits for St. Louis in the win, combining for over half of the team's total base knocks. Herrera helped generate a run in the fourth inning when he led off with a single, advanced to second on another single, stole third and crossed the plate on an infield hit. The backstop has four multi-hit performances through 10 contests in June and is batting .314 (11-for-35) overall this month.

Grandal is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

Grandal will give way to Henry Davis behind the plate after catching in three of the Pirates' previous four games. Since returning to action May 3 after a season-opening stint on the injured list while he recovered from plantar fasciitis, Grandal has hit just .163 with two home runs, one stolen base, 12 RBI and six runs through his first 25 games with Pittsburgh.

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

Torrens will take a seat for the second day in a row after closing out the weekend with his third consecutive start, but the 28-year-old journeyman has performed well enough since joining the team May 31 to stick around with the big club over fellow backstop Tomas Nido, who was designated for assignment Tuesday. Francisco Alvarez came off the 10-day injured list Tuesday and should see the bulk of the starts at catcher moving forward, even though Torrens has produced three extra-base hits through his first 18 plate appearances with the Mets.

O'Hoppe (groin) isn't in the Angels' lineup Wednesday against the Diamondbacks, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

O'Hoppe had to leave Tuesday's game after getting hit below the belt by a foul tip, and he will remain out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest. Matt Thaiss will fill in behind the dish while batting fifth.

Hedges will start at catcher and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Reds.

With the lefty-hitting Bo Naylor hitting the bench with southpaw Nick Lodolo taking the hill for the Reds, Hedges will get a turn behind the plate. Hedges will be making his 19th start of the season and has provided most of his value on the defensive end, as he enters Wednesday's contest with an ugly .130/.158/.204 slash line.

Naylor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

With lefty Nick Lodolo on the hill for Cincinnati, the lefty-hitting Naylor will retreat to the bench. Austin Hedges will step in for Naylor behind the plate.

Wells isn't in the Yankees' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

Wells will take a seat Wednesday after launching his second home run of the season during Tuesday's win. Jose Trevino will start behind the plate instead and bat eighth.

Stubbs is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

Stubbs is expected to see increased playing time at catcher for the foreseeable future after J.T. Realmuto (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, but Rafael Marchan will get the nod behind the plate Wednesday in what represents his first big-league action since 2021. While making his first start since Realmuto landed on the shelf in Tuesday's 4-1 win, Stubbs went 1-for-4 and nabbed his fourth stolen base of the season.

D'Arnaud is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

D'Arnaud will probably get the start at catcher in Thursday's series finale in Baltimore -- which is a day game after a night game -- but the veteran backstop has seen his playing time take a steady dip since Sean Murphy returned from the injured list May 27. Murphy will get his 11th start in 15 games since his return, with d'Arnaud getting the nod at catcher for the four other contests.

Rogers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Rogers will retreat to the bench after he started at catcher in both of the Tigers' last two games, going 2-for-8 with a home run and three RBI. The 29-year-old is slashing .226/.284/.387 overall for the season and still seems to be part of a timeshare at catcher with Carson Kelly, who gets the starting nod Wednesday.
