The Marlins placed Bethancourt on the 10-day injured list Monday due to a viral illness, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Bethancourt missed Sunday's game against Atlanta due to the illness, and his placement on the IL suggests the Marlins weren't counting on him being available for their three-game series with the Giants to begin the week. Provided he's able to resume working out in the next few days, Bethancourt could be ready to return from the IL when first eligible April 24. In a corresponding move, the Marlins selected Jhonny Pereda's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday. Pereda will likely serve as the No. 2 catcher behind Nick Fortes while Bethancourt recovers from his illness.

Bethancourt (illness) will not be at LoanDepot Park for Monday's game against the Giants, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Bethancourt was unavailable Sunday and was told to stay home Monday as he continues to battle an illness. He's day-to-day. Nick Fortes is the only other catcher on the Marlins' active roster and he will be behind the plate Monday.

Bethancourt was unavailable Sunday due to illness, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

There's been a bug going around the Marlins' clubhouse, with Tim Anderson and A.J. Puk also being affected. It's not clear yet whether Bethancourt will be available to play Monday. If he's not, Nick Fortes will catch.

Bart went 1-for-2 with two walks and a solo home run Sunday against the Phillies.

Bart made only his third start with the Pirates and first since Monday. While his playing time has been limited to giving Henry Davis breathers, Bart has made the most of his chances by going 4-for-12 with a pair of home runs and a double since joining Pittsburgh. Due to the lack of playing time, Bart is difficult to roster in most formats, though he is a player to monitor given Davis' early-season struggles.

Ruiz (illness) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Ruiz hasn't seen the field since April 8 while battling an illness, and his absence will continue Sunday. Riley Adams will receive another start behind the plate for Washington.

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

Moreno looks to be getting a routine day off after he caught the first two games of the series while recording a pair of base hits across seven at-bats. Tucker Barnhart will take on the catching duties in the series finale.

Bailey is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Bailey had caught both of the Giants' previous two contests, so he's likely just getting a maintenance day for the series finale. Tom Murphy will step in behind the dish in Bailey's stead.

Bethancourt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Bethancourt will head to the bench for the series finale as he remains part of a wholly unproductive timeshare behind the plate with Nick Fortes, who gets the starting nod Sunday. Neither backstop has cemented himself as the clear top option in Miami, as Bethancourt has reached base in just one of his first 23 plate appearances of the season, while Fortes has mustered a .266 OPS in 24 plate appearances.

D'Arnaud is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

D'Arnaud will receive a routine breather for the series finale after he started behind the plate Friday and Saturday while going 2-for-7 with a double. Chadwick Tromp will handle catching duties Sunday.

Davis is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Davis will get a breather for the series finale in Philadelphia after catching each of the Bucs' last four contests while going 4-for-13 with one double, three walks, two runs and two RBI. Joey Bart will step in to handle catching duties for Pittsburgh.
