Rushing went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Angels.

Rushing had gone just 3-for-30 (.100) with no extra-base hits and 11 strikeouts over his previous 12 games. Despite the struggles at the plate, he continues to get semi-regular playing time as the backup to Will Smith. Rushing is slashing .202/.269/.298 with two homers, 15 RBI, 11 runs scored and three doubles over his first 34 major-league games.

Goodman went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Tuesday against the Cardinals.

Goodman popped his 23rd home run of the season in the fourth inning. That snapped what had been a cold start to the Rockies' road trip, as Goodman entered Tuesday's game having gone just 2-for-16 across his last four games. While four of Goodman's six home runs since the All-Star break have come at home, he has performed equally well on the road overall this season.

Alvarez went 3-for-4 with a double, two home runs, four RBI and three runs scored in Tuesday's 13-5 win over Atlanta.

It was the first multi-homer game of the season for Alvarez, who matched a season high in hits and set a season high in RBI in the process. After being demoted to the minor leagues for about a month of action, the slugging backstop seems to have discovered a rhythm at the dish. Alvarez is slashing .304/.418/.630 with eight extra-base hits and eight RBI covering his last 55 plate appearances (16 games), so he's worth considering in deeper fantasy leagues and two-catcher formats.

Smith isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels.

Smith will give way to Dalton Rushing behind the plate after the former went 2-for-4 with a run scored during a loss in Monday's series opener.

The Cubs activated Amaya (oblique) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Amaya has been sidelined since May 25 due to a left oblique strain. With Amaya's return, the Cubs have opted to keep three catchers on the 26-man roster, with Amaya joining Carson Kelly and Reese McGuire. Jon Berti was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Prior to his injury, Amaya was slashing .280/.313/.505 with four home runs, 25 RBI, 14 runs scored and a 4:22 BB:K across 100 plate appearances. He had been well on his way to a career year at the dish.

Realmuto is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

It's a routine day off for the veteran backstop, as Rafael Marchan will handle catching duties and bat ninth. Realmuto is slashing .273/.325/.393 with 22 doubles, seven home runs, 39 RBI, 41 runs scored, six stolen bases and a 26:94 BB:K across 403 plate appearances this season.

Ruiz remains in concussion protocol but is continuing to take part in baseball activities, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

While the fact that Ruiz hasn't been shut down from activity is encouraging, the Nationals haven't provided much information regarding the extent of his workouts, nor has the team provided any indication of how close he might be to exiting concussion protocol. Since Ruiz landed on the injured list July 8, the Nationals have turned to Riley Adams as their primary option at catcher.

Fermin went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 4-1 win against San Francisco.

Fermin's hit in the contest was a two-run shot to left field in the seventh inning that gave San Diego a 4-1 lead. The long ball was his first since joining the Padres via trade July 31. Fermin has brought his new team some much-needed consistent hitting from the catcher position -- since the trade, he's batting .370 (10-for-27) with four RBI over eight contests.

McCann is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

After starting behind the plate in three of Arizona's previous four contests, McCann will get a breather as the Diamondbacks kick off a three-game set in Texas. Adrian Del Castilo will handle the catching duties for the Diamondbacks on Monday.

Davis is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

Davis will take a seat for the series opener in Milwaukee after he started behind the plate in three of the Pirates' four games versus the Reds this past weekend. Joey Bart will get the nod at catcher and will bat seventh Monday.
