Torrens is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

Torrens will get his first day off of the season after he started behind the plate in each of the Mets' first five games while going 4-for-14 with a home run, two doubles, one walk and two RBI. Hayden Senger will form a battery with starting pitcher Clay Holmes on Wednesday, but Torrens should see the bulk of the starts at catcher until Francisco Alvarez (hand) is ready to return from the injured list.

Bart is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

Bart will take a seat as the Pirates and Rays wrap up their series with a day game after a night game. Endy Rodriguez will receive a turn behind the plate Wednesday.

Haase went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Royals.

With William Contreras serving as the Brewers' designated hitter, Haase picked up his first start of the season behind the dish. Haase provided some pop at the bottom of the order, putting Milwaukee on the board with a 419-foot blast off Michael Lorenzen in the third inning. Despite playing a big part in the leading the Brewers to their first win of 2025, Haase will likely see scant playing time during his second season in Milwaukee with Contreras coming off an All-Star campaign.

The Pirates designated Delay for assignment Tuesday.

The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Thomas Harrington, who is up to start Tuesday's game against the Rays. Delay is just a career .231/.295/.315 hitter over parts of three big-league seasons but could draw interest via waivers from a club in need of catching depth.

Trevino is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

Austin Wynns will do the catching while Trevino gets some rest. Trevino has started three of the first five tilts this season, going 2-for-9 at the plate.

Herrera is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Angels.

Herrera -- who sports a 1.055 OPS in the early going -- has now drawn three starts to Pedro Pages' two in the first five games. Pages will do the catching for Matthew Liberatore on Tuesday.

Kelly hit for the cycle against the Athletics in an 18-3 win Monday, going 4-for-4 with a home run, a triple, a double, two walks, three runs and five RBI.

Per ABC 7 Chicago, Kelly became the first MLB player in history to hit for the cycle in the month of March and just the 17th catcher to accomplish the feat. The plodding backstop got the most difficult hit in the cycle in his final plate appearance, ricocheting a hit off the center-field wall in the eighth inning and reaching third base after the ball rolled on the outfield grass. The triple was just the third of Kelly's 10-year big-league career. He had gone 1-for-6 over two starts prior to Monday's explosive performance.

Torrens went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 10-4 win over Miami.

After an umpire review, Torrens recorded his first homer of the season during a seven-run fifth inning for the Mets. The 28-year-old backstop is hitting .364 (4-for-11) with the aforementioned long ball thus far, and he should remain New York's primary catcher until Francisco Alvarez (hand) is ready to come off the injured list.

Contreras went 0-for-3 with one walk and two strikeouts in Monday's 11-1 loss to the Royals.

Contreras struck out swinging in his first two plate appearances but managed to draw a walk in the eighth inning. The Brewers have struggled offensively through the first four games of the season outside of their nine-run effort in a loss to the Yankees on Saturday, and Contreras has started the year 2-for-14 with one walk, one run and five strikeouts.

Kelly is starting at catcher and will bat ninth Monday against the Athletics.

Kelly is in line for his second start behind the dish in four days after going 0-for-3 at the dish Friday against the Diamondbacks. He picked up his first hit of the season March 19 against the Dodgers during the Tokyo Series, also managing to draw a walk in the matchup.
