Rays' Nick Fortes: Filling in for resting Feduccia
Fortes will start at catcher and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Angels, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Though he'll crack the starting nine for the series finale, Fortes looks poised to work in a timeshare behind the dish with Hunter Feduccia, after the latter was acquired from the Dodgers on Thursday. Feduccia had started in three of the previous four contests and may hold a slight edge over Fortes in terms of playing time at the moment.

Rays' Nick Fortes: On bench Wednesday
Fortes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Acquired from the Marlins earlier this week, Fortes made his Rays debut in Tuesday's 12-2 win, starting behind the dish while going 0-for-2 with a walk and a run scored. Though he'll have a clearer path to playing time in Tampa Bay after Agustin Ramirez had overtaken him as the top backstop in Miami prior to the trade, Fortes may still find himself in a timeshare at catcher with Matt Thaiss, who gets the start Wednesday.

Rays' Nick Fortes: Moved to Tampa Bay in trade
The Rays acquired Fortes from the Marlins on Monday in exchange for outfielder Matthew Etzel (undisclosed), Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
The Rays dealt catcher Danny Jansen to the Brewers earlier Monday and have immediately replaced him with Fortes. Fortes has turned in an underwhelming .225/.277/.344 batting line in parts of five major-league seasons, but the Rays hope to coax more out of him with a change of scenery. In Tampa Bay, the 28-year-old will vie with Matt Thaiss for playing time behind the dish for the rest of the season.

Marlins' Nick Fortes: Bangs out three hits Sunday
Fortes went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's win over the Nationals.
The 28-year-old catcher has a five-game hit streak going, during which he's gone 9-for-17 (.529) with a double, a homer, four runs and four RBI. Fortes has become primarily a short-side platoon player as the Marlins also try to find playing time for Agustin Ramirez and Liam Hicks behind the plate, but the role may be agreeing with him.

Marlins' Nick Fortes: Swats first homer of year
Fortes went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 14-1 loss to the Cubs.
The backstop took Jameson Taillon deep in the third inning for the Marlins' only offense of the night. It was Fortes' first homer of the season, while the start was his sixth in May over 17 games as he continues to split the workload behind the plate with rookie Agustin Ramirez and Liam Hicks. On the month, Fortes is batting just .136 (3-for-22).

Marlins' Nick Fortes: Activated, starting Sunday
Fortes (oblique) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and will start at catcher and bat seventh Sunday versus the Athletics.
The 28-year-old will rejoin the active roster after missing nearly a month due to a Grade 1 oblique strain. Fortes opened the campaign as Miami's primary catcher and had an .833 OPS through 22 plate appearances, but prospect Agustin Ramirez has taken over the role and has a .908 OPS in his first 10 big-league games.

Marlins' Nick Fortes: Set to begin rehab assignment
Fortes (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.
Fortes has missed the last three weeks of action with a Grade 1 left oblique strain but is ready to test things out in a game setting. The 28-year-old might remain at Jacksonville rather than rejoin the major-league roster once healthy enough to do so, as Agustin Ramirez has taken over the primary catching duties for the Marlins and backup Liam Hicks is a Rule 5 pick who must remain on the roster or be offered back to the Tigers.

Marlins' Nick Fortes: Has Grade 1 oblique strain
Fortes has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 left oblique strain, Stephen Strom of Marlins Radio Network reports.
It's the least severe grade of strain, but Fortes could still be out beyond the minimum 10 days. In the meantime, Liam Hicks will operate as the Marlins' primary catcher, with Rob Brantly backing him up.

Marlins' Nick Fortes: Lands on injured list
Fortes was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to April 10, with a left oblique strain.
Fortes missed time last week with a neck issue and is now nursing an oblique injury, which could very well keep him out beyond the initial 10 days. Veteran catcher Rob Brantly was called up in a corresponding move to help Liam Hicks with the workload behind the plate in Miami.

Marlins' Nick Fortes: Back in lineup Monday
Fortes (neck) will start at catcher and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Mets.
Liam Hicks will head back to the bench while Fortes checks into the starting lineup after a stiff neck kept him out of the lineup for the Marlins' past three contests. Assuming the neck issue doesn't crop up again, Fortes should see the lion's share of the starts at catcher this season.

Marlins' Nick Fortes: Remains on bench Sunday
Fortes (neck) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game in Atlanta.
Fortes will be on the bench for a fourth game in a row while he contends with a stiff neck. Liam Hicks will get another start behind the dish, but the fact that the Marlins haven't called up another catcher from the minors over the last few days suggests that the team isn't too concerned about Fortes requiring a stint on the injured list.

Marlins' Nick Fortes: Scratched from lineup Saturday
Fortes was removed from Saturday's lineup against Atlanta due to neck stiffness, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Fortes was in Miami's original lineup for what would have been his first start since Tuesday. However, he was later removed due to the neck issue. Liam Hicks is starting behind the plate and batting ninth Saturday in Fortes' stead.

Marlins' Nick Fortes: Idle Monday
Fortes is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.
Fortes will get a breather Monday after he worked behind the dish in both of the final two games of the Marlins' weekend series versus Pittsburgh. Liam Hicks will pick up the start at catcher in place of Fortes, who has recorded one extra-base hit (two doubles, one triple) in each of his first three games of the season.

Marlins' Nick Fortes: Sitting out Friday
Fortes is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Pirates.
Fortes started Thursday's opener and in his last plate appearance was awarded a triple on a ball Oneil Cruz misplayed in center field. He'll begin the second game of the series on the bench as Liam Hicks makes his major-league debut.

Marlins' Nick Fortes: Making return Monday
Fortes (groin) will start at catcher and bat second in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Nationals.
Fortes will rejoin the lineup for the first time since last Wednesday, when he sustained a groin contusion after being struck by a foul ball while catching. The missed time shouldn't put Fortes at any risk of not being ready for the start of the season, when he'll project to serve as Miami's No. 1 backstop.

Marlins' Nick Fortes: Leaves with groin bruise
Fortes was removed from Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Nationals in the first inning due to a groin contusion, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Fortes suffered the injury when a foul ball struck him in the lower body while he was catching in the top of the inning. Rob Brantly entered the contest in place of Fortes, who can be viewed as day-to-day.
