The Cardinals will place Pozo on the 7-day concussion injured list prior to Friday's contest in Cincinnati, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Pozo was examined by the trainer after taking a foul tip off his mask Thursday. and while he stayed in and finished the game, he subsequently displayed symptoms of a concussion. Jimmy Crooks is being called up from Triple-A Memphis to take Pozo's spot on the active roster and split catching duties with Pedro Pages.

Pozo will be evaluated for a possible concussion Friday after taking a foul tip off the mask during Thursday's win over the Pirates, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Pozo was checked out by the Cardinals' training staff Thursday and stayed in to finish the contest, but that doesn't preclude concussion symptoms from surfacing later. Catcher Jimmy Crooks is expected to be promoted from Triple-A Memphis, which could point to Pozo being placed on the 7-day concussion injured list.

The Cardinals will call up Crooks from Triple-A Memphis prior to Friday's game against the Reds, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Crooks is ready for an opportunity at the major-league level after slashing .274/.337/.441 with 14 home runs this season with Memphis. The 24-year-old has been red hot in August, producing a .337/.404/.518 line with three long balls. It's not clear what the corresponding move will be to get Crooks on the active roster, but Yohel Pozo was shaken up by a foul tip off the mask Thursday. If Pozo needs to miss time, Crooks could share catching duties with Pedro Pages.

Realmuto went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and a second run scored in Thursday's 19-4 win over Atlanta.

Realmuto hit the second of three Philadelphia homers in the first inning, tying the game at 3-3 to erase Atlanta's early lead. The catcher had gone 0-for-12 with five strikeouts over the Phillies' three-game series against the Mets earlier in the week. Realmuto has four homers in his last nine contests and is up to 11 long balls on the year. He's added 47 RBI, 47 runs scored, 24 doubles, one triple, seven stolen bases and a .271/.327/.411 slash line through 111 games.

Jackson went 1-for-3 with a solo homer and an additional run scored in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Red Sox.

Making his fourth start in eight games, Jackson got Baltimore on the board in the third inning with a 395-foot shot off Garrett Crochet for his fourth homer this year. The 29-year-old Jackson had initially fallen to third on the Orioles depth chart after Samuel Basallo was called up, though he's been alternating starts behind the plate with the rookie after Adley Rutschman (oblique) landed on the IL. Overall, Jackson is slashing .250/.308/.567 with 14 runs scored and six RBI across 65 plate appearances this season.

Alvarez (thumb) suffered a fractured left pinky finger when he was hit by a pitch during a rehab game at Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Alvarez had been working his way back from a right thumb issue that will require him to undergo surgery eventually. Although he's now dealing with injuries to both of his hands, the young backstop expressed optimism that he'll be able to return at some point this season. Until then, Luis Torrens will continue to work as the main catcher in Queens with Hayden Senger backing him up.

Torrens is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Marlins.

It's Torrens' second consecutive day out of the lineup after he had started in three straight games prior to that. Hayden Senger will be behind the plate as the Mets continue to divvy up catching duties evenly in the absence of Francisco Alvarez (thumb).

Kelly is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest in San Francisco.

Kelly started at catcher in each of the previous three games, so he'll get a breather during Thursday's matinee. Reese McGuire is behind the dish and batting eighth for the Cubs.

Wells went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 11-2 victory versus the Nationals.

Wells capped New York's scoring in the contest with a solo shot to right field in the fourth frame. The backstop has three homers over his past six games, but he has only one other hit -- a single -- over 19 at-bats in that span and has struck out nine times. Wells is still getting regular starts behind the plate for the Yankees, but he's been in an offensive funk since mid-July; over his past 27 contests, he's slashing a woeful .143/.189/.298 with a 30 percent strikeout rate.

Diaz (hand) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rockies, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Diaz will be held out of the starting nine for the third game in a row while he manages a hand injury. Cesar Salazar will get the nod behind the plate in place of Diaz, who can be considered day-to-day heading into the Astros' weekend series with the Angels.
