The Nationals plan to promote Stubbs from Triple-A Rochester ahead of Friday's game against the Rays, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

The 28-year-old is on the cusp of his first look in the majors after No. 2 catcher Drew Millas suffered a fractured and dislocated finger Wednesday. Stubbs has a .148/.279/.240 slash line between the Double-A and Triple-A levels this season and isn't likely to see much playing time as the backup to Riley Adams.

Bailey is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Bailey started Tuesday's series opener and went 0-for-3 with a strikeout, dropping his slash line in August to .227/.271/.288 through 21 games. Andrew Knizner will step in behind the plate Wednesday to catch for lefty Carson Whisenhunt.

Caratini is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies and is being evaluated for a concussion, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

The veteran catcher has taken a couple foul balls off his mask recently and is now in danger of landing on the injured list. Cesar Salazar is starting behind the plate Wednesday and will operate as the backup to Yainer Diaz (hand) while Caratini is unavailable.

Moreno isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

Moreno has gone 6-for-16 with two homers, seven RBI and four runs scored in four games since returning from the injured list. He'll get a chance to rest his legs Wednesday while James McCann catches for starter Ryne Nelson and bats sixth.

Diaz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies due to a hand injury, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

The 25-year-old was withheld from the lineup for Tuesday's contest and will sit for a second straight game due to the injury. With Diaz down and Victor Caratini in the concussion protocol, Cesar Salazar was promoted from Triple-A Sugar Land and will get the start behind the plate Wednesday.

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

Torrens will receive Wednesday off after he had started behind the plate in each of the Mets' last three contests while going 4-for-11 with a home run, a double, five RBI and three runs. Hayden Senger will spell Torrens behind the dish.

The Astros recalled Salazar from Triple-A Sugar Land on Wednesday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Salazar was up with the big club briefly earlier this season, going 1-for-7 at the dish. He'll temporarily step in as the Astros' No. 2 catcher behind Yainer Diaz (hand) after Victor Caratini (concussion) was placed on the 7-day injured list Wednesday.

Kirk is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Twins due to a right hand injury, though X-rays came back negative, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Kirk's hand swelled up after it was hit by a foul tip during Tuesday's contest. He finished that game, however, and has managed to avoid any fractures. It's not clear whether Kirk will be available off the bench Wednesday, but he should have a good shot to return to the lineup Friday against the Brewers following the team's off day Thursday.

Narvaez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

He'll hit the bench for the second time in the series while the Red Sox give Connor Wong a look behind the plate. Narvaez has had a stranglehold on the No. 1 catching job for most of the season, but his job security might have slipped a bit while his production has fallen off during the second half. Since the All-Star break, Narvaez is slashing just .158/.210/.316 with a 26.8 percent strikeout rate over 21 games.

Kirk is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Twins.

Kirk will get a routine night off after he started at catcher in the first two games of the series. Tyler Heineman will be behind the dish and bat eighth for the Blue Jays.
