Realmuto (hip) is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

Realmuto left Saturday's game with hip discomfort and did not take part in either half of Sunday's doubleheader. The results of the MRI he underwent recently have yet to be released, but he evidently hasn't been cleared to start Monday. Rafael Marchan will make his big-league debut behind the plate in his absence.

Stallings is out of the lineup for the first game of Monday's doubleheader in Cincinnati.

John Ryan Murphy will be behind the plate for the first game of the series, but Stallings should serve as the Pirates' starting catcher in Game 2. Through eight appearances in September, Stallings has gone 4-for-27 with a home run, two doubles, three RBI and two runs.

Caratini went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, three RBI and two runs scored Sunday against the Brewers.

Caratini busted out of a 2-for-17 slump to deliver plenty of production. He had two separate RBI knocks, the first a single in the fourth frame followed by a double in the seventh inning. His relatively lengthy slump has put a damper on his overall numbers, as Caratini is now hitting .253/.343/.316 across 108 plate appearances.

Wallach went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in an 8-1 win over the Phillies in Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader.

Wallach swatted his first homer of the year in the sixth inning to account for the final runs of the game. It was just his second hit in 15 at-bats this year. Wallach sees infrequent playing time as the backup to Jorge Alfaro at catcher.

Realmuto (hip) will undergo an MRI, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic reports.

Realmuto left Saturday's game against the Marlins with hip discomfort and wasn't in the lineup for either of the games in Sunday's twin bill. Manager Joe Girardi wasn't able to provide a timetable for his return following Sunday's doubleheader, but Realmuto's MRI could help determine the severity of the issue.

The Phillies selected Marchan's contract from their alternate training site ahead of the second game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Marlins.

Philadelphia is in need of a healthy backstop with J.T. Realmuto (hip) unavailable for either end of the doubleheader, so Marchan will make the jump to the majors without having ever appearaed above the High-A level. Andrew Knapp, who worked behind the plate in the Phillies' 2-1 loss in the first game of the twin bill, will achieve the rare feat of making two starts at catcher in a doubleheader, as he's in the lineup again for Game 2. The Phillies may not be keen on having Knapp catch all seven innings of the contest, however, so Marchan could be summoned off the bench for his MLB debut at some point during the game.

Realmuto (hip) is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Marlins, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Realmuto will sit out both games of the twin bill after leaving Saturday's contest with hip discomfort. Andrew Knapp receives another start behind the plate, and the Phillies called up Rafael Marchan to provide catching depth.

Bart is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Padres, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Bart will head to the bench after starting the previous four games and going 4-for-14 during that stretch. Chadwick Tromp will catch for Johhny Cueto for the right-hander's third straight start.

Stallings is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Stallings started the past four games for the Buccos and will receive a breather after going 2-for-13 with two doubles and two RBI during that stretch. John Ryan Murphy takes over behind the plate Sunday for Pittsburgh.

Realmuto (hip) is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Marlins, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Realmuto exited Saturday's contest during the eighth inning with hip discomfort, and it remains unclear if he'll be available for either of Sunday's contests. However, the fact the Phillies didn't promote a catcher when announcing roster moves early in the day could bode well for his outlook. Andrew Knapp will start behind the plate in the matinee.
