The Marlins recalled catcher Jacob Realmuto from Double-A Jacksonville Saturday.

Realmuto is 4 for 20 in seven appearances with the Marlins. He hit .299/.369/.461 with eight home runs, 62 RBI and 18 stolen bases in 375 at-bats.

Mets catcher Travis d'Arnaud was given a half day on Thursday because of a sore wrist, ESPN New York reports. D'Arnaud was pulled after four innings for Anthony Recker, who hit a home run in his place against the Nationals.

D'Arnaud is hitting .246 with 13 homers and 38 RBI over 354 at-bats. His status remains uncertain for Friday's game against the Nationals.

The Reds have altered their lineup to include catcher Devin Mesoraco. Brayan Pena has been scratched with an illness.

Hot-hitting Reds catcher Devin Mesoraco is catching a break Thursday. He is out of the lineup against visiting St. Louis.

Mesoraco, who has mostly manned the cleanup spot since late July, has blasted off three times in the last six games. He owns a stat line of .285/.371/.553 with 73 RBI in just 347 at-bats.

Mets catcher Travis d'Arnaud continued his hot-hitting ways Friday, as he led the team to a 14-5 win over the Reds.

d'Arnaud put together his third multi-hit effort in the last four games, as he reached base four times by going 3 for 4 with a walk. He drove in four runs in the game as well, with a first-inning RBI single and then a three-run home run in the fourth, while scoring twice in the blowout.

d'Arnaud is 9 for 16 in four September games, to raise his season line to .243/.306/.412 in 337 at-bats.

Reds catcher Devin Mesoraco, serving as a designated hitter, brought his team back from the dead Thursday night in Baltimore.

Mesoraco hit a sacrifice fly in the third, homer in the sixth and two-run double in the seventh to key a comeback from a 7-2 deficit in an eventual Cincinnati loss. He finished the night with four RBI and his first four-hit game since May 18. He sweetened his stat line to .286/.365/.542. His slugging percentage would rank sixth in major league baseball if he had enough at-bats to qualify.

Braves catching prospect Christian Bethancourt has been recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday. He owns a .283/.308/.408 slash line with eight homers and 48 RBI over 343 at-bats at Triple-A.

The Phillies announced their September callups on Monday.

Before announcing the moves, Philadelphia transferred pitcher Cliff Lee to the 60-day DL to create room on the 40-man roster. The team recalled infielder Cesar Hernandez, catcher Cameron Rupp and right-handed pitchers Luis Garcia and Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez from Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Additionally, the team purchased the contracts of infielder Maikel Franco and outfielder Tony Gwynn Jr.. Right-hander Mike Adams was also activated off the disabled list.

The Nationals announced their September callups on Monday. Before making any moves, the team activated Steven Souza from the 15-day disabled list. Washington called up the following players: Sandy Leon, Blake Treinen, Xavier Cedeno, Tyler Moore and Aaron Barrett.

The Giants transferred catcher Hector Sanchez to the 60-day disabled list on Sunday. Sanchez has been working his way back from concussion-related issues, and is not expected to be re-evaluated until mid-September, leaving his status for the rest of the season in jeopardy.
