Torrens will start at catcher and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Phillies.

A sore left hand kept Torrens out of action for three straight games before he re-entered the lineup Sunday in the Mets' 4-3 loss to Atlanta. Torrens' hand checked out fine after going 1-for-3 with a base hit while playing eight innings behind the dish, so he'll stick in the starting nine for the second straight day as the Mets open a three-game set with the Phillies. Torrens is likely to see the bulk of the starts at catcher until top backstop Francisco Alvarez (thumb) is ready to return from the injured list.

Ramirez went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Blue Jays.

The 23-year-old backstop swiped his 10th bag in 105 big-league games, and between the majors and Triple-A this season, Ramirez is 15-for-17 on steal attempts. The speed offers an extra element to his fantasy appeal, but he's also slugged 18 homers with 57 RBI in his first taste of the Show, and his .232/.288/.430 slash line is significantly below his expected numbers based on the underlying metrics -- his bat speed is in the 89th percentile, while his average exit velocity (75th percentile) and hard-hit rate (73rd percentile) are strong as well. Ramirez seems poised to emerge as one of the league's top offensive catchers as soon as 2026.

Rushing went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Padres.

Rushing was 0-for-9 with four strikeouts over his previous four games. He broke the slump in the seventh inning, putting the Dodgers ahead for good when he took Jeremiah Estrada deep. Rushing is up to three homers, 19 RBI, 12 runs scored and three doubles while slashing .187/.246/.299 over 118 plate appearances. He continues to serve as the backup to Will Smith behind the plate.

Marchan went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and three RBI in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Nationals.

Marchan drove in all of the Phillies' runs, delivering a two-run double in the second inning before working a bases-loaded walk in the third. It marked a rare bright spot in what's been a tough season for the backup catcher, who's slashing .183/.280/.256 with one homer, nine RBI and six runs scored across 94 plate appearances.

Diaz went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 8-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Diaz put the Padres ahead 2-1 in the third inning with his homer, but that was the extent of their scoring. He's seen limited playing time in August, as Freddy Fermin has taken over as San Diego's top catcher. Diaz has gone 3-for-19 (.158) over seven games this month, so he's not doing much to make a stronger case for playing time. Overall, the 34-year-old backstop has a .198/.269/.308 slash line with six homers, 24 RBI, 29 runs scored and seven doubles across 253 plate appearances this season.

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

Will Banfield will handle the catching duties for Cincinnati on Sunday after Trevino started behind the plate in each of the previous seven games behind the plate while going 4-for-24 with three RBI and a run scored. Trevino should continue to see the bulk of the playing time at catcher while top backstop Tyler Stephenson (thumb) is on the injured list.

McCann will start at catcher and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Reds.

Though he's included in the lineup for the series finale, McCann was on the bench for the previous two games and appears to have moved into the No. 2 role at catcher after Gabriel Moreno (finger) made his long-awaited return from the 60-day injured list Friday. McCann has been a serviceable replacement since he signed with Arizona in late June, slashing .247/.337/.403 with three home runs and nine RBI through his first 29 games with the team.

Moreno is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

Moreno returned from the 60-day injured list Friday and started the past two games behind the plate for Arizona, going 4-for-8 with a home run, a double and four RBI. James McCann will step in to catch for Zac Gallen in the series finale.

Fermin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

After starting behind the plate in each of the past four games, Fermin will get a breather for the series finale. Elias Diaz will handle catching duties for San Diego, forming a battery with starting pitcher Nick Pivetta.

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

Smith looks to be receiving a routine breather after he started at catcher or designated hitter in each of the Dodgers' last five games. Dalton Rushing will spell him behind the dish and bat ninth in Sunday's series finale.
