Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto had the biggest hit of the day in Saturday's 9-5 win over the Mets. With the score tied 5-5 in the top of the seventh, the rookie catcher launched a two-run home run to give the Marlins a lead they would not give back.

Realmuto, who also doubled and scored twice on Saturday, now has two longballs on the season, and he's now hit safely in five of his last six games. 

The Dodgers announced that catcher Yasmani Grandal was activated from the seven-day disabled list prior to Saturday's game.

Grandal suffered a concussion, but he completed a minor league injury rehab assignment and is ready to return to the team. 

"Yasmani gives us a switch-hitter in the middle who has given us some production and gives us a bigger bat in the middle of the order," manager Don Mattingly said, per MLB.com. 

To make room for Grandal, the Dodgers sent outfielder Chris Heisey to Triple-A. Heisey hit .111 in five games with the team. 

Dodgers catcher Yasmani Grandal has finished his rehab assignment and rejoined the team in St. Louis on Friday. Grandal is currently on the 7-day concussion list, but is likely to be activated in time for Saturday's game, according to the Orange County Register. 

Mets catcher Travis d'Arnaud suffered a setback on his rehab assignment, which will delay his return to the lineup. 

He took himself out of a rehab game Thursday for Class A St. Lucie after feeling pain in his wrist. He saw a hand specialist, who diagnosed the injury as a bone bruise in his right hand.

“He felt it swinging in his third at-bat last night so, not knowing what it was, took himself out,” general manager Sandy Alderson said, per the New York Daily News.

Earlier Friday, manager Terry Collins said d'Arnaud would need 20-25 at-bats on his rehab assignment before coming off the disabled list. He is 0 for 6 with one RBI, one walk and one strikeout through his first two games with Class A St. Lucie.

Mets catcher Travis d'Arnaud will likely get 20-25 at-bats on a rehab assignment before coming off the disabled list, manager Terry Collins said Friday. He is 0 for 6 with one RBI, one walk and one strikeout through his first two games with Class A St. Lucie.

The Diamondbacks transferred catcher Oscar Hernandez from the 15-day to 60-day disabled list Friday. The Rule 5 pick has been sidelined all season due to a broken hamate bone in his left hand.

The Diamondbacks placed catcher Tuffy Gosewisch on the 15-day disabled list Friday due to an ACL injury in his left knee. Catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia was recalled from Triple-A Reno to take his roster spot.

Gosewisch hurt his knee Wednesday against the Cardinals. The injury was originally diagnosed as a jammed knee, but he underwent an MRI on Thursday. Gosewisch said Friday he likely has an ACL tear.

Gosewisch heads to the DL with a team-high 34 starts at catcher. Jordan Pacecho and Saltalamacchia will now share the catcher responsibilities in his absence.

Dodgers catcher Yasmani Grandal went 3 for 10 during three rehab games in Triple-A, reports TrueBlueLA.com.

Grandal is on the 7-day concussion disabled list and he is expected back Saturday. He was the designated hitter during the assignment.

Diamondbacks catcher Tuffy Gosewisch suffered a jammed left knee on a play at first base in Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, the team announced.

Gosewisch appeared to trip over the bag at first base while trying to beat a tag, and fell to the ground, where he was holding his knee and grimacing in pain. He had to be helped to the dugout and finished the night 0 for 3.

"It looks OK," manager Chip Hale said of the knee, per FOX Sports Arizona. "He will have an MRI tomorrow. We'll have to make a decision Friday."

The Diamondbacks' only other catcher on the active roster is Jordan Pacheco, who replaced Gosewisch in the game. If Gosewisch needs to miss an extended period of time, Jarrod Saltalamacchia is an option at Triple-A after being signed earlier this month.

Mets catcher Travis d'Arnaud went 0 for 3 on Wednesday for Class A St. Lucie as a part of his rehab assignment.

d'Arnaud, who is currently on the 15-day DL with a hand injury, was playing in extended spring training games before heading to St. Lucie on Wednesday. d'Arnaud has not played since April 19 when he suffered the injury and is hitting .317 with 10 RBI on the year.
