  • Jose Trevino C | CIN

    Reds' Jose Trevino: Sitting down Friday

    Trevino isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Brewers.

    Trevino has gone 3-for-14 through his first six games of the season, and he'll get a chance to catch his breath Saturday while Austin Wynns starts behind the plate and bats ninth.

  • Sean Murphy C | ATL

    Braves' Sean Murphy: Nearing activation

    Murphy (rib) is starting at catcher Friday for Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday and is expected to be activated from the 10-day IL by Atlanta before the end of this weekend's series versus Miami, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

    The 30-year-old began his rehab assignment with Gwinnett on Tuesday and will catch for Spencer Strider (elbow) in his own rehab start Friday. Murphy suffered the rib fracture in early March, but it appears he'll only end up missing the first week-plus of the regular season. Prospect Drake Baldwin has been filling in as Atlanta's primary backstop but could soon be headed back to Triple-A.

  • Dodgers' Hunter Feduccia: Recalled from Triple-A

    The Dodgers recalled Feduccia from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    He's taking the roster spot vacated by Freddie Freeman (ankle), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. Feduccia will operate as a third catcher for the Dodgers.

  • Mets' Francisco Alvarez: Hitting in cage Friday

    Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said that Alvarez (hand) will catch a bullpen session and hit in the batting cage Friday, SNY.tv reports.

    Alvarez is ramping up baseball activities as he works his way back from surgery on a fractured hamate bone in his left hand. There is no firm timeline yet for Alvarez's return, but he could still rejoin the Mets before the end of April.

  • Elias Diaz C | SD

    Padres' Elias Diaz: Not in San Diego lineup

    Diaz is absent from the lineup for Friday's game versus the Cubs, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

    It's a routine day off for Diaz, who is 3-for-13 at the dish in the early going this season. Martin Maldonado will catch and bat ninth for the Padres in Friday's series opener.

  • Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Three hits, two steals in win

    Realmuto went 3-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and two stolen bases in Thursday's 3-1 win over Colorado.

    It was an encouraging effort from Realmuto, who'd gone just 2-for-17 (.118) in four games prior to Thursday's contest. With his two steals, the 34-year-old catcher has already matched his regular-season total from 2024, where he slashed .266/.322/.429 with 14 homers, 47 RBI and 50 runs scored across 413 plate appearances.

  • Jason Delay C | ATL

    Braves' Jason Delay: Shipped to Atlanta

    Atlanta acquired Delay from the Pirates on Thursday in exchange for cash and optioned him to Double-A Columbus.

    Delay was designated for assignment by the Pirates on Tuesday, but a move to Atlanta will allow him to reclaim a spot on a 40-man roster. However, he'll be demoted to Double-A upon joining his new organization and doesn't figure to serve as anything more than minor-league depth for the duration of the season. Reynaldo Lopez (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move.

  • Brewers' Jeferson Quero: Delayed by hamstring injury

    Quero suffered a hamstring injury late in spring training and should be assigned to Triple-A Nashville in late-April, Sam Dykstra of MLB Pipeline reports.

    He is also still building back up from last year's right shoulder surgery, as he was starting spring games at designated hitter. It may take Quero some time to knock the rust off at the dish, but his defense behind the plate is already big-league ready. The 22-year-old backstop slashed .262/.339/.440 with 16 home runs, five steals and a 17.8 percent strikeout rate in 90 games at Double-A in 2023 and only played one game last year at Triple-A.

  • Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Taking seat Thursday

    Moreno is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Yankees.

    Moreno was at catcher in Wednesday's night game, so he'll get some rest for Thursday's afternoon affair. Jose Herrera is starting behind the plate and batting ninth in Thursday's series finale.

  • Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Accounts for team's only run

    Goodman went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a double in Wednesday's loss to the Phillies.

    Goodman collected half of Colorado's four hits in the contest, including both of the team's extra-base knocks. He also prevented the Rockies from being shut out with his seventh-inning solo shot off Phillies ace Zack Wheeler. Goodman started at catcher for the fourth time this season, and he has also logged one start at DH. The Rockies appear determined to get his bat into the lineup on a near-everyday basis, as he's slashing .386/.400/.842 with two homers, three doubles, three RBI and three runs through 20 plate appearances.
