  • Pedro Pages C | STL

    Cardinals' Pedro Pages: Sitting Sunday

    Pages is not in the Cardinals' starting lineup against the Phillies on Sunday.

    Pages has started the Cardinals' last four games and has gone 4-for-15 with one run scored and one RBI over that span. He'll be rested Sunday while Yohel Pozo starts behind home plate and bats eighth against Phillies right-hander Zack Wheeler.

  • Jose Trevino C | CIN

    Reds' Jose Trevino: Resting Sunday

    Trevino is not in the Reds' starting lineup against the Pirates on Sunday.

    Trevino went 1-for-6 with one RBI over the first two games of the series. He'll be rested for the series finale as Austin Wynns serves behind home plate and bats ninth against Pirates right-hander Carmen Mlodzinski.

  • Miguel Amaya C | CHC

    Cubs' Miguel Amaya: Belts first homer

    Amaya went 2-for-3 with a home run, three total runs and three total RBI against the Dodgers in a 16-0 victory Saturday.

    Amaya didn't start the contest, but he was moved into the DH role after Seiya Suzuki exited in the fifth inning due to a wrist injury. Amaya took advantage of the opportunity, knocking a two-run single and a solo home run. Fellow backstop Carson Kelly had a big day of his own with two homers, and the duo has split catching duties pretty evenly of late, with Amaya getting the start behind the plate in four of the team's past eight games.

  • Carson Kelly C | CHC

    Cubs' Carson Kelly: Continues to mash

    Kelly went 3-for-3 with two home runs, two walks, three total runs and three total RBI in a 16-0 rout of the Dodgers on Saturday.

    Kelly made the score 3-0 in favor of the Cubs with a solo shot in the seventh inning, and he tacked on another long ball -- this time a two-run blast -- off position player Miguel Rojas in the ninth. The veteran catcher is already up to four home runs on the campaign, and he's added 13 RBI while slashing a fiery .417/.571/1.042. Perhaps most impressively, Kelly has drawn 10 walks while striking out just three times. The huge start has pushed Kelly into a near-even playing-time split behind the plate with Miguel Amaya, who also went deep Saturday and is off to a nice start offensively as well.

  • Sean Murphy C | ATL

    Braves' Sean Murphy: Homers twice in win

    Murphy went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs and a walk in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Rays.

    Murphy got Atlanta on the board with a solo home run in the seventh inning and then tied things up with another blast in the eighth. Since making his season debut Tuesday, the 30-year-old has gone 5-for-15 with three long balls, six RBI and four runs scored across 18 plate appearances. It's a small sample, but early signs point to a potential bounce-back campaign if he can remain healthy.

  • Henry Davis C | PIT

    Pirates' Henry Davis: Making 2025 debut Saturday

    Davis is starting behind home plate and batting ninth against the Reds on Saturday.

    The Pirates recalled Davis from Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday, and he'll be the third catcher on the roster while Joey Bart manages a back injury. Davis was slashing .281/.343/.375 with three stolen bases and two RBI across 35 plate appearances in Triple-A before being called up to the majors.

  • Joey Bart C | PIT

    Pirates' Joey Bart: Not starting Saturday

    Bart (back) is not in the Pirates' starting lineup against the Reds on Saturday.

    Bart exited Friday's game against Cincinnati due to lower-back discomfort, and he'll remain sidelined for Saturday's contest. Henry Davis, who was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday, will serve behind home plate and bat ninth against Reds southpaw Andrew Abbott.

  • Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Sitting Saturday

    Goodman is not in the Rockies' starting lineup against the Padres on Saturday.

    Goodman went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in Friday's series opener. He'll begin Saturday's game in the dugout while Jacob Stallings starts behind home plate and bats eighth against San Diego southpaw Kyle Hart.

  • Will Smith C | LAD

    Dodgers' Will Smith: Sitting Saturday

    Smith is not in the Dodgers' starting lineup against the Cubs on Saturday.

    Austin Barnes will start behind home plate and bat in the ninth spot against Cubs right-hander Ben Brown. Smith has gone 3-for-17 with three walks, two RBI and seven strikeouts over his last five games.

  • Elias Diaz C | SD

    Padres' Elias Diaz: On bench Saturday

    Diaz is not in the Padres' starting lineup against the Rockies on Saturday.

    Diaz went 2-for-4 with two RBI in Friday's series opener, but he'll begin Saturday's contest in the dugout. Martin Maldonado will serve behind home plate and bat ninth against Rockies right-hander Chase Dollander.
