    Cardinals' Pedro Pages: Resting for nightcap

    Pages is out of the lineup for the second game of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Mets.

    Pages will rest for the second game of the day after he went 0-for-4 while starting behind the plate in the Cardinals' 6-5 win in Game 1. Yohel Pozo will handle the catching duties in the nightcap.

  • Carson Kelly C | CHC

    Cubs' Carson Kelly: Getting breather Sunday

    Kelly is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

    Kelly will take a seat for the series finale after drawing starts behind the plate in the first two games in Milwaukee. Miguel Amaya will handle catching duties Sunday.

  • Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Getting day off

    Moreno is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

    Moreno will get a rest for the series finale after starting at catcher both of the past two days. Jose Herrera will step in behind the plate Sunday.

  • Nick Fortes C | TB

    Marlins' Nick Fortes: Activated, starting Sunday

    Fortes (oblique) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and will start at catcher and bat seventh Sunday versus the Athletics.

    The 28-year-old will rejoin the active roster after missing nearly a month due to a Grade 1 oblique strain. Fortes opened the campaign as Miami's primary catcher and had an .833 OPS through 22 plate appearances, but prospect Agustin Ramirez has taken over the role and has a .908 OPS in his first 10 big-league games.

  • Mets' Francisco Alvarez: Resting for early game

    Alvarez is out of the lineup for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader in St. Louis.

    Alvarez will take a seat for the early game but should be back behind the plate for the second contest of the day to form a battery with starting pitcher Tylor Megill. Luis Torrens will handle the catching duties in Game 1.

  • Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Belts three-run homer

    Realmuto went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Realmuto extended the Phillies' lead to six runs in the third inning, when he took Brandon Pfaadt deep to left-center field for a three-run home run. It was Realmuto's third homer of the season (two of which have come over his last three starts), and the veteran catcher has seven multi-hit games in 2025. He has gone 8-for-27 (.296) with five runs scored and four RBI over his last seven games.

  • Keibert Ruiz C | WAS

    Nationals' Keibert Ruiz: Stepping out of lineup Saturday

    Ruiz is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's matchup versus Cincinnati.

    Ruiz will get a rest to begin Saturday after starting each of Washington's past five contests and going 5-for-19 with no extra-base hits over that stretch. Riley Adams is starting behind the plate and batting eighth for the Nats on Saturday.

  • Padres' Luis Campusano: Summoned to majors

    The Padres recalled Campusano from Triple-A El Paso on Saturday.

    Campusano has performed well with El Paso this season, slashing .322/.445/.598 with six home runs, 17 RBI and 21 runs over 110 plate appearances. He struggled in the majors last year, posting a .642 OPS over 299 plate appearances, but was much better in 2023, when he slashed .319/.356/.491 with seven long balls in 49 games. Campusano may not get much playing time behind the plate with the Padres given his defensive liabilities and since the team already has two other catchers -- veterans Elias Diaz and Martin Maldonado -- but he may also get an occasional turn at DH. To make room for Campusano on the roster, San Diego optioned Connor Joe to El Paso.

  • Mets' Francisco Alvarez: Not starting Saturday

    Alvarez isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals.

    The Mets will give Alvarez a day off after he went 3-for-5 with three RBI during Friday's win. While he rests, Luis Torrens will start behind the dish and bat eighth.

  • Mets' Francisco Alvarez: Drives in three in Friday's win

    Alvarez went 3-for-5 with three RBI in Friday's 9-3 win over the Cardinals.

    While none of the knocks went for extra bases, it was still a strong performance from Alvarez. The 23-year-old backstop is batting .269 (7-for-26) with a double, a homer and six RBI over six games since returning from surgery to repair a fractured hamate bone.
