Stassi isn't starting the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Yankees.

Stassi will get a breather after he went 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout in Thursday's matinee. Kurt Suzuki will start behind the plate and bat seventh in the second game of the twin bill.

Nola is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Brewers, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Nola and Jorge Alfaro have alternated starts behind the plate over the past seven games, and that trend will continue Wednesday after Nola went 1-for-3 with a walk Wednesday against the Cardinals.

Diaz isn't starting Thursday against Atlanta, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.

Diaz went 3-for-15 with two RBI, a walk and four strikeouts over his last five games, and he'll be out of the lineup Thursday for the fourth time in the Colorado's past six contests. Brian Serven will start behind the dish and bat ninth.

Narvaez isn't starting Thursday's game against the Padres.

Narvaez will be out of the lineup for the second time in the last three games since left-hander Sean Manaea is on the mound for San Diego. Victor Caratini will start behind the dish and bat eighth.

Casali is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Marlins, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

After starting in four of the previous five games, Casali looks to have leapfrogged Joey Bart on the depth chart at catcher, but the young backstop will get a turn behind the dish in the series opener in Miami. Over 76 plate appearances this season, Casali has produced a .250/.316/.456 slash line.

Raleigh isn't starting Thursday against the Orioles.

Raleigh started in the last two games and went 1-for-8 with three RBI, a run and two strikeouts. Luis Torrens will take over behind the dish and bat ninth Thursday.

Stephenson is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's contest with the Nationals, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Stephenson will take a seat Thursday after starting six straight games, going 6-for-24 with three RBI and four runs over that span. Aramis Garcia will start at catcher and bat eighth in the series opener.

Jansen is not starting Thursday's series finale against the White Sox.

Jansen will get a breather after starting back-to-back games following a hip injury, going 2-for-8 with a three-run homer in those contests. Alejandro Kirk will get the start behind the plate and bat fifth.

Serven went 3-for-5 with two RBI in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against Miami.

Serven remains the backup catcher in Colorado behind Elias Diaz, though he has taken advantage of his recent opportunities in the lineup. He delivered RBI singles in the second and sixth innings Wednesday to record his third multi-hit effort across six starts. Serven has collected eight hits across the first 26 at-bats of his career while also chipping in two home runs, seven RBI and three runs scored.

Jansen went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's victory over the White Sox.

Jansen gave the Blue Jays a 5-0 lead in the bottom of the third with a three-run homer off White Sox starter Michael Kopech. It was the catcher's seventh home run of the season across just 16 appearances. Jansen is currently slashing .283/.340/.761 -- which would all be career highs -- and is well on his way to eclipsing his career-high 13 home runs, which he set during the 2019 campaign.
