Knizner went 1-for-2 with two RBI, a triple and a walk in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Cardinals.

Knizner appeared in just his fifth game this month, during which he's batting .333 with two RBI in 13 plate appearances. The backup catcher hit a sacrifice fly in the fourth inning and added an RBI triple in the eighth to give the Giants the lead. With that, the 30-year-old recorded the first three-bagger of his seven-year big-league career. He's slashing .227/.298/.307 with 11 runs scored, five RBI and a homer in 85 plate appearances this season.

Rortvedt is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Diamondbacks.

With Will Smith (hand) out and Dalton Rushing (shin) returning just last week, Rortvedt has served as the Dodgers' primary catcher this month. However, he'll get a breather in Thursday's finale while Rushing dons the catcher's gear.

Diaz isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Diaz will sit down for Thursday's series finale after going 1-for-7 with two strikeouts over the first two games. Victor Caratini will replace him behind the plate and bat fourth.

McCann is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Dodgers.

McCann has served as the Diamondbacks' primary catcher lately while Gabriel Moreno occupies the designated-hitter slot. However, it will be Moreno at catcher and Adrian Del Castillo at DH for Thursday's matinee.

Jeffers is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Rangers.

Jeffers started each of the last two games after being activated from the 7-day injured list, but he'll grab a seat for Thursday's matinee. Christian Vazquez will be behind the dish and bat ninth for the Twins.

Rutschman is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Rays.

Rutschman started at catcher in each of the first two games of the series, but he'll get a breather during Thursday's matinee. Alex Jackson is behind the dish and batting eighth for the Orioles.

Bart (wrist) will start at catcher and bat sixth in Thursday's game against the Reds.

Bart had to be scratched from the lineup Tuesday and didn't play Wednesday because of a wrist issue, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go in Thursday's series finale. The 28-year-old Bart will enter action Thursday having homered in two straight contests.

Basallo (hand) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Rays but hopes to return to action Friday against the Yankees, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Basallo had to depart Wednesday's game after being hit on the right hand by a pitch, but X-rays came back clean and he's feeling better Thursday. The rookie will hope to return to the lineup after one day of rest.

Stephenson is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Pirates.

Stephenson went 4-for-5 with a game-tying home run in the ninth inning of Wednesday's loss to the Pirates, but he'll get some rest for Thursday's matinee. Jose Trevino will start at catcher and bat eighth for the Reds.

Stephenson went 4-for-5 with a double and a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-innings loss to the Pirates.

The veteran catcher kept the Reds alive by launching a slider from Bucs closer Dennis Santana over the fence in left-center field in the ninth inning, tying the game at 2-2, but Cincy couldn't close the deal. Stephenson has been a big part of the team's surge into playoff contention since coming off the IL in early September, and over his last 13 games he's slashing .275/.341/.650 with three doubles, four homers and 13 RBI. The Reds are tied with the Diamondbacks, one game back of the Mets for the final wild-card spot in the NL with four to play.
