The Nationals confirmed that Ruiz was recalled from Triple-A Rochester ahead of Monday's game against the Phillies.

Washington has yet to release its lineup for the series opener, but it's expected to include Ruiz, who should take over as the team's everyday catcher moving forward. Between stops at Rochester and at the Dodgers' Triple-A affiliate in Oklahoma City this season, the 23-year-old Ruiz hit .310 with 21 home runs and 59 RBI in 72 games.
