Hicks is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.

The Nationals are sending lefty Andrew Alvarez to the hill for the series opener, so Hicks will head to the bench along with another lefty-hitting lineup regular in Troy Johnston. Hicks closed August with a .267/.359/.344 slash line, one home run, eight RBI and 14 runs over 28 games.

The Phillies recalled Stubbs from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday.

Stubbs is up with the big club to serve as its third catcher in September. The 32-year-old has a career .215 average and seven home runs in 198 games in the majors. He hit .265 with eight home runs and five steals in 71 games at Triple-A this season.

Fulford went 2-for-4 with a double, a triple, two runs scored and an RBI on Sunday against the Cubs.

Fulford briefly got spot starts as Colorado's designated hitter, but he's shifted to a more traditional backup catcher of late and started only six of the team's last 14 games. He had one of his best offensive performances of the season Sunday, delivering his fourth multi-hit performance in 22 starts.

Baldwin went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run and a walk in Sunday's 3-1 win over Philadelphia.

Baldwin gave way to Sean Murphy behind the plate to start this game. In the end, Baldwin was part of Atlanta's build-up to tie the game in the eighth inning before he swatted the decisive homer in the top of the ninth. This was the rookie's 100th game, and he's up to 15 homers on the year while adding 62 RBI, 41 runs scored and a .280/.351/.462 slash line. He was right in line with those marks in August, batting .284 (23-for-81) with 21 RBI over 23 games for the month.

Contreras went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Sunday's loss to Toronto.

Contreras opened the game's scoring with his two-run shot in the first inning before adding an RBI single in the third. It was his 17th long ball of the year and 11th in his last 31 contests. He entered the All-Star break with a disappointing .699 OPS, but he now owns a .259/.355/.410 slash line through 583 plate appearances. Contreras has gone 49-for-171 (.287) in 42 games since the All-Star break.

Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and a walk in Sunday's win against the Mets.

Ramirez snapped a 12-game homerless drought with his two-run blast in the third inning Sunday. He's up to 19 on the year, though just two of those have come in his last 26 appearances. Ramirez was stuck in a 4-for-33 (.121) skid over nine contests before collecting multiple hits in back-to-back games Saturday and Sunday. He's now slashing .233/.290/.430 with 48 extra-base hits and 60 RBI through 482 plate appearances.

Smith hit a walk-off solo home run in his lone at-bat in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

Smith pinch hit for Dalton Rushing in the ninth inning and took Arizona reliever John Curtiss deep for the walk-off win. August wasn't kind to Smith -- while he hit three homers over 22 games, he batted just .159 (11-for-69) with 10 RBI and a 15:24 BB:K for the month. He's up to 17 homers, 60 RBI, 62 runs scored and two stolen bases while batting .293 with a .901 OPS through 107 contests this season.

Baldwin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

Baldwin went 2-for-4 in Saturday's 3-2 loss, which ended a stretch of 11 straight starts without a multi-hit performance. Sean Murphy will catch for rookie righty Hurston Waldrep in Sunday's series finale.

McCann remains out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers due to low back tightness, MLB.com reports.

McCann had been scheduled to start behind the plate in the Diamondbacks' 3-0 win Friday, but he ended up being scratched shortly before first pitch due to the back issue. Arizona is viewing McCann as day-to-day and should be able to navigate his absence with Adrian Del Castillo available as a third option at catcher behind top backstop Gabriel Moreno.

Smith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Smith will head to the bench Sunday after starting the first two games of the series and going 0-for-5 with three walks and two strikeouts. Dalton Rushing will step in behind the plate to catch for righty Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
