Diaz was transferred to the 60-day disabled list Thursday, Bill Brink of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Diaz will be on the shelf until mid-July after undergoing elbow surgery earlier in May, so he was an obvious candidate to be transferred to the 60-day DL when a spot on the 40-man roster was needed. That time came Thursday when right-hander Wilfredo Boscan was promoted to the big leagues, so Diaz was shuttled off the 40-man roster for the time being. He'll likely be added back on once he's done with his rehab process.

Rupp (ankle) went 1-for-3 with a walk and two RBI in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Marlins.

Rupp sat out the previous three games with the ankle injury, but looked to be back to full health Wednesday, catching all nine innings while contributing well at the plate. The catcher's two-run single in the third inning helped give the Phillies a 3-2 lead that would ultimately hold up.

Hedges (hand) had his cast removed and is slated to play catch Wednesday, MLB.com's AJ Cassavell reports.

There is still no apparent change in his original timetable that had him returning to action in late May or early June. It's possible that he could head out on a rehab assignment in a week or two, but the team has not yet offered any updates on his status.

D'Arnaud (shoulder) built up strength and worked on the range of motion in his ailing shoulder Wednesday, Marc Carig of Newsday reports.

After experiencing a setback in his rehab process earlier in the month, it seems that d'Arnaud is taking the proper steps to remedy his shoulder and get back on track with his recovery. The catcher expects to go to extended spring training to resume baseball activities soon, so he could be back on track to get limited game action (possibly in the form of a rehab assignment) sometime later this month.

Rupp (ankle) is in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins, Ryan Lawrence of PhillyVoice.com reports.

It was thought that Rupp would be held out again Wednesday to give his ankle more rest, but it turns out he will get the start behind the plate Wednesday for the first time since Saturday. He will hit sixth against Marlins starter Tom Koehler.

Grandal is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels.

Despite catching Clayton Kershaw last time he was scheduled to start, Grandal will head back to the bench and let A.J. Ellis get back to being the ace's personal catcher. Grandal has been on a bit of a cold streak as of late, going just 3-for-25 in his past seven games, but he'll likely be back in the lineup with some regularity considering Ellis' .204 average also leaves a lot to be desired.

Manager Pete Mackanin is leaning toward giving Rupp (ankle) another day off Wednesday, Ryan Lawrence of the Philly Voice reports.

Rupp seems to be in shape to be ready for Wednesday's game, but with an off day scheduled for Thursday, Mackanin likely wants to ensure that the 27-year-old is completely back to health and is ready to go for their weekend series with the Braves. This isn't set in stone, so this situation should become completely clear once Wednesday's lineup is released.

Realmuto is out of Tuesday's lineup against the Phillies, Andre Fernandez of the Miami Herald reports.

This appears to be a regular day off for Realmuto even though he's in the midst of a hot streak, batting .364 over the past week. He'll likely head back into the lineup Wednesday to continue his torrid hitting ways, but he'll cede Tuesday's start at catcher to Jeff Mathis.

Rupp (ankle) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins, Meghan Montemurro of the News Journal reports.

Rupp's ankle is apparently still bothering him, so he'll stay out of the lineup for the third game in a row. Carlos Ruiz will take over behind the plate and bat fifth in his stead.

Rupp (ankle) is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins, Stephen Gross of the Morning Call reports.

Rupp fortunately avoided a concussion from the collision he was a part of in Saturday's contest, but his ankle is still bothering him and will keep him out for the second day in a row. Carlos Ruiz will fill in for him behind the dish while he nurses his injury.
