Fortes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Fortes will get a breather as the Marlins close out their series versus the Mets with a late-afternoon game. Liam Hicks will check in for Fortes behind the plate and bat seventh.

Diaz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

Diaz will get some rest for the day game after he went 0-for-7 while starting behind the dish in the first two contests of the series. Martin Maldonado will handle the catching duties for San Diego on Wednesday.

Bailey is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Houston.

It's a routine day off for Bailey, who will yield to Sam Huff at catcher. The switch-hitting Bailey is only 1-for-12 at the plate in his first five contests this season.

Amaya is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Athletics.

He'll sit in favor of Carson Kelly, who is getting his second start in the series after hitting for the cycle Monday. It's been a fairly even split between Amaya and Kelly so far this season in terms of playing time, with Amaya drawing five starts to Kelly's four.

Torrens is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

Torrens will get his first day off of the season after he started behind the plate in each of the Mets' first five games while going 4-for-14 with a home run, two doubles, one walk and two RBI. Hayden Senger will form a battery with starting pitcher Clay Holmes on Wednesday, but Torrens should see the bulk of the starts at catcher until Francisco Alvarez (hand) is ready to return from the injured list.

Kirk is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Kirk caught Tuesday's night game, so he'll receive a breather for Wednesday's afternoon tilt. Tyler Heineman will do the catching for the series finale.

Bart is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

Bart will take a seat as the Pirates and Rays wrap up their series with a day game after a night game. Endy Rodriguez will receive a turn behind the plate Wednesday.

Haase went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Royals.

With William Contreras serving as the Brewers' designated hitter, Haase picked up his first start of the season behind the dish. Haase provided some pop at the bottom of the order, putting Milwaukee on the board with a 419-foot blast off Michael Lorenzen in the third inning. Despite playing a big part in the leading the Brewers to their first win of 2025, Haase will likely see scant playing time during his second season in Milwaukee with Contreras coming off an All-Star campaign.

Jansen is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Pirates, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The Rays are playing a day game after a night game, so Jansen will get a breather. Ben Rortvedt will start at catcher and bat eighth for the matinee.

Jeffers is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

It's a routine day off for Jeffers, who has now been in the lineup for four of the first six contests of the season. The Twins will roll with Christian Vazquez at catcher and in the ninth spot in the batting order for Wednesday's game.
