Stephenson is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees.

Stephenson was behind the dish for the first two games of the series, so it makes sense to give him a breather for Thursday's matinee. Luke Maile will do the catching for Frankie Montas.

Busch is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Phillies.

Southpaw Cristopher Sanchez will be toeing the rubber for the Phillies, so the left-handed hitting Busch will grab a seat. Patrick Wisdom will handle first base and also the second spot in the Cubs' batting order.

Jarvis (1-2) picked up the win over the Dodgers on Wednesday, pitching 2.1 scoreless innings in relief while allowing one hit and two walks. He struck out one.

Jarvis relieved Cristian Mena to open the bottom of the fourth and managed to hold the Dodgers' lineup scoreless over the next 2.1 innings despite allowing a baserunner in each frame. Arizona would go on to add four runs over that stretch, helping the right-hander earn his first win of the campaign. Though Jarvis allowed two runs in his previous relief appearance June 27 against the Twins, he's actually held opposing teams scoreless in four of his last five outings.

The Marlins placed Lopez on the 10-day injured list Thursday due to lower-back inflammation, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

The 25-year-old was held out of the lineup the past two days and will now take at least another week to get healthy on the injured list. Jonah Bride was called up in a corresponding move, and he could see time at second base along with Vidal Brujan while Lopez is sidelined.

Perdomo went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's win over the Dodgers.

Perdomo singled in each of his first two trips to the plate and swiped second following the latter, giving him his first stolen base of the campaign. It marked the shortstop's sixth multi-hit effort of the season, and he's now hit safely in three straight games, raising his average to .275 in the process.

The Marlins recalled Bride from Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Bride will give the Marlins some protection along the infield. The 28-year-old has two hits in 12 at-bats during his brief time in the majors this season.

Cabrera (shoulder) was spotted in the Marlins' clubhouse Thursday and could be activated from the 60-day injured list to start Sunday versus the White Sox, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

The Marlins said previously that Cabrera would make one more rehab start. However, the club has an opening in its rotation Sunday after optioning Valente Bellozo, and that's the first day Cabrera is eligible for activation. Cabrera -- who has been out since early May with a right shoulder impingement -- has posted a 4.50 ERA and 15:4 K:BB over 10 innings in three rehab starts. He would be relatively limited from a pitch-count perspective Sunday after throwing 67 pitches in his last rehab outing.

Moreno went 3-for-5 with a double and a two-run homer in Wednesday's win over the Dodgers.

Moreno doubled in his first at-bat before adding a two-run shot in the third to tie the game at 4-4. The catcher went on to reach three times in the contest and has now hit safely in each of his first two games since returning from a thumb injury. It marked Moreno's third three-hit performance of the campaign, and he's now homered in two of his last three games (dating back to June 21).

Senga (shoulder) is expected to make his next rehab start with Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

The 31-year-old threw 35 pitches over 2.2 frames in his previous outing with High-A Brooklyn on Wednesday, and he's expected to build up to about 50 pitches in his next start. The Mets want Senga to be built up to around 75-to-80 pitches before he returns from the injured list, and he's trending toward making his season debut in late July.

The Marlins selected Andriese's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Andriese was removed from the 40-man roster back in April following a brief stint in the majors but has made his way back onto the roster. He'll provide Miami's bullpen with some length.
