Jose Trevino C | CIN
Reds' Jose Trevino: Receiving rest Sunday
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.

Diamondbacks' James McCann: Set to lose work to Moreno
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.

Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Out of Sunday's lineup
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.

Freddy Fermin C | SD
Padres' Freddy Fermin: Getting rest Sunday
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.

Rafael Marchan C | PHI
Phillies' Rafael Marchan: Picking up rare start
Marchan will start at catcher and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Nationals.
With top backstop J.T. Realmuto receiving a rare day off, Marchan will pick up just his 24th start of the season. He's slashing .177/.270/.241 with one home run, six runs and six RBI across 90 plate appearances in 2025.

Drake Baldwin C | ATL
Braves' Drake Baldwin: Idle for series finale
Baldwin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.
Baldwin started the first two games of the series, but he'll head to the bench Sunday while southpaw David Peterson takes the hill for New York. Sean Murphy will handle catching duties for Atlanta.

Luis Torrens C | NYM
Mets' Luis Torrens: Cleared to start Sunday
Torrens (hand) will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game at Atlanta.
Torrens was held out of action for the past three games while managing a sore left hand, but he's made enough progress in his recovery to re-enter the starting nine for the series finale in Atlanta. With Francisco Alvarez (thumb) on the shelf, Torrens should be in line to see the bulk of the starts behind the dish for the Mets now that he's moved past the hand issue.

J.T. Realmuto C | PHI
Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Receiving Sunday off
Realmuto is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.
Realmuto started the previous five contests and is in the midst of a seven-game hit streak, during which he's batting .440 (11-for-25) with two doubles and three home runs, but he'll take a seat for Sunday's series finale versus Washington. Rafael Marchan will step in behind the plate to catch for lefty Ranger Suarez.
