Campusano isn't in the Padres' lineup Saturday versus Arizona.

The Padres will give Campusano a day off following his three-hit performance Friday, during which he drove in two runs and scored another en route to a win. Kyle Higashioka will take over behind the dish and bat ninth.

Moreno was scratched from Saturday's lineup due to illness but will be available off the bench, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

Moreno and Ketel Marte (back) were both late scratches Saturday, but the pair will be available to enter off the bench. Tucker Barnhart will catch and bat ninth. The D-Backs will finish their series with the Padres on Sunday before a team off day Monday.

Moreno was scratched from the Diamondbacks' lineup prior to Saturday's game against the Padres.

No word yet on why Moreno was taken out of the lineup, but the Diamondbacks will likely give an update on his status in the near future. In the meantime, Tucker Barnhart will catch for Ryne Nelson and bat ninth.

Bailey isn't in the Giants' lineup Saturday against the Rangers.

The switch-hitting Bailey holds only a .656 OPS against left-handed pitching this season, and he'll take a seat Saturday versus Andrew Heaney and the Rangers. Curt Casali will catch for Spencer Howard instead while batting eighth.

Diaz isn't in the Rockies' lineup Saturday against St. Louis.

Diaz will take a seat Saturday after going 1-for-7 with two walks through the first two games of the series. Jacob Stallings will instead get the nod to start at catcher while batting sixth.

Amaya isn't in the Cubs' lineup Saturday versus the Reds.

Amaya will get a breather Saturday after going 2-for-7 with an RBI and a run scored through the first two games of Chicago's series with Cincinnati. Yan Gomes will take over behind the dish and bat ninth.

The Phillies recalled Marchan from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday.

Marchan will come up from the minors to serve as Philadelphia's 27th man during its two-game series with the Mets in London. Starter J.T. Realmuto has taken a beating behind the plate over the past several days, though it's still unlikely Marchan sees much action over the weekend, if any.

Nido isn't in the Mets' lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Nido will sit for the fourth time in five games Saturday as Luis Torrens draws the start behind the plate while batting ninth. Torrens has gone 3-for-10 with two homers in three games since joining the Mets on Sunday, and continued success from him could cause Nido to drop down the Mets' depth chart.

Stephenson started at catcher, batted fifth and went 1-for-3 with a double and two RBI in Friday's 3-2 win over the Cubs.

Stephenson, who had his hand checked out after getting hit by a pitch Thursday, was back in the starting lineup Friday at his usual catching position. He delivered a two-out, two-run double in the fourth inning to give the Reds a 2-0 lead. The double extended Stephenson's hit streak to eight games, during which he's 12-for-31 (.387) with five RBI and eight runs.

Campusano went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Friday's 10-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

Campusano entered Friday just 1-for-29 with four walks and five strikeouts over his previous 12 contests. He finally made some good contact, including an RBI single and a double, his first extra-base hit since May 19. The catcher's slump left a mark on his season-long numbers -- he's now at a .234/.284/.359 slash line with four home runs, 27 RBI, 23 runs scored, 11 doubles and no stolen bases over 57 games. Campusano remains in the starting role at catcher over Kyle Higashioka.
