  • 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.

    Pirates' Henry Davis: Getting fourth start in six games

    Davis will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Rockies.

    Davis has posted a .720 OPS dating back to Aug. 7 and appears to have poached more playing time from Joey Bart at catcher as a result. He'll be included in the lineup for the fourth time in the last six games.

    Pirates' Joey Bart: Losing work to Davis

    Bart is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

    Bart will take a seat for the series finale while the playing time at catcher appears to be tilting back in favor of Henry Davis. Over the last six games, Bart has drawn just two starts to Davis' four.

  • Cubs' Reese McGuire: Drives in five in win

    McGuire went 1-for-2 with a grand slam, a walk, five total RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 12-1 win over the Angels.

    McGuire stretched the Cubs' lead to 6-0 with his grand slam in the fourth inning, and he added another RBI on a sacrifice fly in the seventh. The catcher entered Saturday just 1-for-14 with one RBI over seven games in August. Overall, he's at a .223/.250/.457 slash line with seven homers, 21 RBI, 15 runs scored and one double across 101 plate appearances this season.

  • Luis Torrens C | NYM

    Mets' Luis Torrens: Battling hand soreness

    Torrens has been dealing with soreness in his catching hand but is available off the bench Saturday against Atlanta, Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record reports.

    Torrens was surprisingly held out of the lineup Saturday for the third straight game, but it turns out his absence is due to soreness in his left hand. While he'll be available off the bench Saturday, Hayden Senger will draw another start behind the plate.

  • Luis Torrens C | NYM

    Mets' Luis Torrens: Still idle

    Torrens is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta.

    Torrens will yield to Hayden Senger behind the plate for a third straight game. It's a rather surprising development, considering Torrens was the favorite to take over the starting catcher role while Francisco Alvarez (thumb) is sidelined. Torrens started the first two games sans Alvarez and is slashing .210/.275/.299 in 233 plate appearances this season.

  • Riley Adams C | WAS

    Nationals' Riley Adams: Idle Saturday

    Adams is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.

    After making back-to-back starts behind the dish, Adams will yield to Drew Millas on Saturday. Adams is 16-for-50 (.320) with two homers in August.

  • Mets' Hayden Senger: Drives in three Friday

    Senger went 2-for-5 with a run scored and three RBI in Friday's win over Atlanta.

    Called back up to the majors earlier in the week, Senger made his second straight start Friday and contributed to a 12-run eruption by the Mets offense with run-producing singles in the second and eighth innings. Luis Torrens will handle the majority of the work behind the plate while Francisco Alvarez (thumb) is sidelined once again, but Senger could see steady playing time if he keeps contributing with his bat -- all four of his RBI on the season have come in the last two games, and Torrens has a weak .186/.230/.214 slash line in 74 plate appearances since the beginning of July.

  • Brewers' Jeferson Quero: Scorching at Triple-A

    Quero went 15-for-38 (.395) with three home runs, five doubles, 15 RBI and a 5:8 BB:K over his last 11 games with Triple-A Nashville.

    Quero -- who underwent right shoulder surgery in April of 2024 -- had not done much hitting before landing on the injured list in late July with a left shoulder injury, but he has been a man on a mission since being activated earlier this month. Quero is one of Milwaukee's top prospects at the catcher position and will turn 23 years old in October, and with him seemingly back at full strength, he figures to have a strong case to be the backup backstop for the Brewers in 2026.

  • Henry Davis C | PIT

    Pirates' Henry Davis: Tallies two hits

    Davis went 2-for-4 with a double against the Rockies on Friday.

    Davis continues to split playing time evenly with Joey Bart, though Davis drew a second consecutive start Friday. He has contributed very little with his bat this season, and he hit just .093 with two RBI and two runs scored across 16 games in July. Davis has seen a very modest uptick in August, going 7-for-38 in 13 games, with all seven of his hits coming in his last eight starts.
