Stubbs went 2-for-3 with a walk and a three-run home run in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Marlins.

With the Phillies in danger of not only losing but being shut out, Stubbs rode to the rescue with a walkoff blast against current Miami closer Tanner Scott in the ninth inning. Stubbs doesn't see much action behind J.T. Realmuto, but he's making an impact when he is in the lineup, batting .342 (13-for-38) on the year with three homers and nine RBI.

Nola is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

Nola and Jorge Alfaro have alternated starts over the past 20 games, but Alfaro will start for the second straight contest after going 2-for-4 with a home run, a walk and an additional run scored Tuesday. Nola has a .250/.379/.250 slash line through seven games in June, so the timeshare behind the plate is unlikely to change anytime soon.

Narvaez isn't starting Wednesday against the Mets.

Narvaez will get a day off after he went 3-for-7 with a strikeout over the last two games. Victor Caratini is starting behind the plate and batting seventh.

McCann (wrist) will begin a rehab assignment at Double-A Binghamton on Thursday, Tim Britton of The Athletic report.

McCann has been sidelined for just over a month due to a broken wrist, but he's been cleared to return to game action in the minors. While the 32-year-old will likely require several rehab games given the length of his absence, he seems to be on track to return from the injured list sometime in late June.

D'Arnaud is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Washington.

D'Arnaud will take a seat after catching both of Atlanta's last two games, allowing William Contreras to get a turn behind the dish. Though he still looks like Atlanta's No. 1 backstop, d'Arnaud will likely end up sitting two or three times per week while Contreras' potent bat has allowed him to earn playing time.

Nido is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

Nido will get a much-needed breather after he went 2-for-17 with an RBI and a pair of runs while starting behind the plate in each of the past five games. Patrick Mazeika will get a start at catcher Wednesday, but Nido seems to have clearly established himself as the Mets' No. 1 backstop while James McCann (wrist) remains on the injured list.

Wynns is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Wynns went 5-for-15 with a double and a walk while starting at either catcher or designated hitter in five of his first six games with the Giants. However, with No. 1 backstop Curt Casali behind the plate Wednesday after moving past a hamstring injury, Wynns' opportunities are likely to be limited moving forward.

Casali (hamstring) is starting Wednesday against Kansas City, Amy Gutierrez of the Giants' official site reports.

Casali missed the last three matchups due to a hamstring injury, but he'll start at catcher and bat ninth during Wednesday's series finale against the Royals. Over his six games prior to his absence, he went 3-for-15 with a double, three runs, a walk and seven strikeouts.

Stallings isn't starting Wednesday against Philadelphia, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Stallings will get a breather after he went 1-for-6 with a three-run homer, a walk and two strikeouts over the last two games. Nick Fortes is starting behind the dish and batting eighth.

Realmuto isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Marlins.

Realmuto started in the last four games and went 4-for-16 with a double, two runs, an RBI, two stolen bases, a walk and three strikeouts. Garrett Stubbs will draw the start behind the plate and bat ninth Wednesday.
