McCann isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Giants, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

McCann went 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout in Wednesday's loss to the Giants, and he'll be out of the lineup for the second time in the last three games. Tomas Nido will start behind the plate and bat ninth.

Contreras isn't starting Wednesday against the Rays.

Contreras drew starts in the last five games and hit .182 with a homer, two doubles, two runs and two RBI. Yan Gomes will start behind the dish and bat eighth Wednesday.

Kolozsvary was recalled by the Reds on Wednesday.

Kolozsvary was added to the Reds' taxi squad Saturday, and he'll now join the active roster to provide depth behind the plate after Tyler Stephenson (concussion) was placed on the 7-day injured list Wednesday. The 26-year-old hasn't yet made his major-league debut, and Aramis Garcia will likely see most of the playing time at catcher in Stephenson's absence.

Nola isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Reds.

Nola started the last four games and went 4-for-14 with two runs, an RBI, a walk and three strikeouts. Jorge Alfaro will start behind the plate and bat seventh.

D'Arnaud isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

D'Arnaud will get a breather after he went 4-for-8 with a homer and two RBI in the last two games. Manny Pina will start behind the dish and bat eighth.

Diaz isn't starting Wednesday's game against Philadelphia.

Diaz will get a breather in Wednesday's series finale after he went 2-for-11 with two RBI, a run and a walk in his last three appearances. Dom Nunez will start behind the dish and bat ninth.

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

The Pirates are wrapping up their series in Milwaukee with an afternoon game after a night game, so Perez will receive a breather after catching in each of the past three days. Andrew Knapp checks in for Perez behind the dish.

D'Arnaud went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a 3-1 victory of the Dodgers on Tuesday.

D'Arnaud gave Atlanta an early lead with a 426-foot shot to left off Los Angeles starter Walker Buehler in the second inning and later tacked on a single in the eighth. The veteran backstop now has consecutive multi-hit games and is slashing an impressive .297/.316/.459 on the season.

Realmuto went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in a 6-5 loss Tuesday in Colorado.

Realmuto led off the fourth and sixth innings with singles and came around to score both times. He added a double in the eighth. After starting the season 1-for-9, the three-time All-Star is 13-for-33 and has raised his batting average to .333 for the season. He's scored eight runs in 11 games, reaching base 17 times in those contests.

Stephenson was diagnosed with a concussion and will be placed on the 7-day injured list Wednesday, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Stephenson suffered the injury while tagging out Luke Voit in a collision at home plate during the opening frame of Tuesday's loss to the Padres, and he'll be out for at least a week while going through the concussion protocol. Aramis Garcia should step in as Cincinnati's primary backstop in the meantime, and the team will need to promote another catcher to serve as the backup.
