Nido isn't in the Mets' lineup for Saturday's game against the Giants, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Nido will get a day off after going 0-for-2 with a sac fly during Friday's series opener. Omar Narvaez will fill in behind the plate and bat ninth.

Bailey went 2-for-4 with a grand slam and a stolen base in Friday's 8-7 win over the Mets.

The 24-year-old backstop took Reed Garrett deep in the eighth inning to put the Giants ahead 7-6 and help them make history, as they became only the fourth team since 1900 to win three straight games in which it had been trailing in by four or more runs. Bailey has gone 5-for-11 in four games since returning from a concussion, and on the season he's slashing .301/.352/.495 with four homers, two steals, 13 runs and 16 RBI in 30 contests.

Stallings hit a solo home run in his only plate appearance in Friday's 3-2 11-inning win over the Phillies.

Stallings entered the game as a pinch hitter in the ninth inning and took Jose Alvarado yard to tie the game at 2-2. It was his third home run of the season, all of which have come in May. Even with the positive results for Stallings, Elias Diaz will continue to pick up the majority of starts behind the plate for the Rockies.

Fry went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and two total runs scored in Friday's 10-4 win over the Angels.

Fry has homered five times over his last 13 games, going 14-for-33 (.424) with a 10:6 BB:K in that span. The 28-year-old got a start at catcher versus southpaw Patrick Sandoval in this contest, though manager Stephen Vogt has found room for him in various spots including first base, third base, left field and designated hitter this season. Fry is slashing a stellar .360/.500/.628 with six homers, 19 RBI, 22 runs scored and three stolen bases over 114 plate appearances.

Naylor isn't in the Guardians' lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.

The lefty-hitting Naylor will retreat to the bench as the Guardians prepare to face left-hander Patrick Sandoval. David Fry will fill in behind the dish and bat fifth.

Trevino (illness) isn't in the Yankees' lineup for Friday's game against the Padres.

Trevino was pulled from Thursday's game due to an illness, and he seems to still be under the weather heading into Friday's contest. Austin Wells will pick up another start behind the dish and bat eighth while Trevino rests.

Alvarez (thumb) is set to participate in batting practice Saturday, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.

Alvarez landed on the 10-day IL after tearing the UCL in his left thumb April 19, and the 22-year-old catcher is on track for a return by late June. Alvarez was slashing .236/.288/.364 with one home run and eight RBI over 59 plate appearances prior to his injury.

Jeffers is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Rangers.

Jeffers started the previous six games but went 2-for-22 with 10 strikeouts during that stretch, and he'll take a seat for Friday's series opener. Christian Vazquez will step in behind the plate and bat ninth.

Rutschman is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Rutschman started the previous four games but will sit Friday amid a 3-for-21 mini-slump. James McCann will step in behind the plate to form a battery with Corbin Burnes.

Rogers is not in the lineup for Friday's game against Toronto.

Carson Kelly will get the start at catcher as Rogers sits for a second straight game. The 29-year-old Rogers has started only four of Detroit's last 12 games, and he's gone just 2-for-16 over that span with a 1:7 BB:K.
