Maile (hand) is starting behind the dish and hitting ninth Wednesday against the Twins.

He has been out a few days with a bruised hand, but it's not an overly serious issue. Maile is hitting .059 with two runs and one RBI in 17 at-bats this month.

Cartaya has been on the 7-day injured list with Double-A Tulsa since Aug. 30.

There were also rumors on X that Cartaya was placed on the development list, but nonetheless, his final game of the season was Aug. 27. Cartaya hit .189 with 19 home runs and 117 strikeouts in 93 games for the Drillers in a very disappointing first season at the level. He is already on the 40-man roster and seemingly far from helping the big-league club, so the Dodgers' long-term belief in Cartaya could be tested this offseason.

Rutschman isn't in the Orioles' lineup Tuesday versus Houston, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Despite collecting five hits across his last three games, Rutschman will take a seat to begin Tuesday's contest. James McCann will instead start behind the plate and bat eighth.

Maldonado is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Baltimore.

Maldonado started the previous two games and will head to the bench for Tuesday's contest. The veteran backstop has a .924 OPS over his last nine games but still has a .191/.2612/.347 slash line for the campaign. Yainer Diaz will take over behind the plate and bat seventh.

Stallings is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Mets.

Nick Fortes will catch and bat ninth. Stallings grabs a day of rest after starting behind the plate in four of the Marlins' last five games.

Wells is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Blue Jays.

It's a routine day off for Wells, who had caught each of the last two contests. Kyle Higashioka will be behind the plate for Clarke Schmidt.

Contreras is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Brewers.

Contreras contributed the difference-making solo home run in the Cardinals' 1-0 defeat of the Brewers on Monday, but he'll take a seat Tuesday as Andrew Knizner starts behind the plate and bats eighth. Paul Goldschmidt is filling the DH role with Alec Burleson handling first base.

Maile (hand) remains out of the lineup Tuesday against the Twins.

Maile hasn't appeared in a game since Friday due to a bruised left hand, but X-rays taken Saturday turned up clean and he should be available off the bench Tuesday versus Minnesota. Tyler Stephenson is starting at catcher for the Reds and batting fifth.

Vazquez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Cincinnati.

Vazquez started Monday's series opener but will begin this one on the bench. Ryan Jeffers will do the catching for Kenta Maeda.

Murphy is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Phillies.

Murphy continues to get regular days of rest as the NL East champions look ahead to the postseason. Travis d'Arnaud will catch Spencer Strider and bat sixth Tuesday versus Philadelphia.
