  • Henry Davis unlikely to get callup from Pirates
    The Pirates have added Grant Koch, not Henry Davis, to the taxi squad following Yasmani Grandal’s injury Tuesday.

    Advice: Davis has been fantastic offensively since being sent down, hitting .279/.456/.628 in 12 games, but the Pirates apparently don’t want to bring him back yet. If Grandal goes on the injured list, the light-hitting Koch would likely back up Joey Bart. Rotoworld 47 minutes ago

  • Working behind plate Wednesday
    Fermin will start at catcher and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

    Advice: He'll be rewarded with his third start in four games after going 4-for-7 with a walk, an RBI and two runs between his previous two turns behind the plate. The Royals will likely continue to make room for Fermin in the lineup when the team opposes left-handed pitching, but his opportunities against right-handers will likely remain more limited while top backstop Salvador Perez is healthy.

  • Day off Wednesday
    O'Hoppe is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Houston, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The Angels' top catcher will get a routine day off as the Angels and Astros wrap up their series with a game that begins at 2:10 p.m. ET. Matt Thaiss will start behind the plate Wednesday while O'Hoppe receives some rest. Rotowire.com Today, 8:34 am
     
  • Heads to bench Wednesday
    Kelly is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: Kelly had started behind the dish in three of the past four games, but he'll give way to Jake Rogers as the Tigers and Royals wrap up their series with a day game after a night game. Rogers appeared to have supplanted Kelly as the top option behind the plate toward the end of April, but playing time between the two backstops has been more equitable in May, with Kelly having thus far garnered 10 starts at catcher to Rogers' nine on the month.

  • Grabbing seat Wednesday
    Ruiz is out of the lineup Wednesday's contest against the Twins, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Advice: The Nationals and Twins are concluding their three-game series with an afternoon game Wednesday, so Washington will give backup catcher Riley Adams a start behind the dish. Ruiz is sporting a disappointing .434 OPS this season for Washington. Rotowire.com Today, 8:08 am
     
  • Homers in first rehab game
    Murphy (oblique) played seven innings at catcher and went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run Tuesday in his first rehab game for Triple-A Gwinnett.

    Advice: In his first game since suffering a Grade 1 left oblique strain in his season debut with Atlanta on March 29, Murphy had been scheduled to catch just four innings, but he ended up staying behind the dish longer than expected. The 29-year-old backstop didn't exhibit any rust with the bat or in the field Tuesday, as he threw out the only baserunner that attempt to steal off of him and provided the highlight of the night with a 449-foot blast off the batter's eye in center field in his first at-bat. According to David O'Brien of The Athletic, Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said that Murphy will be off Wednesday before starting behind the plate again for Gwinnett on Thursday. Snitker added that Murphy is also expected to get another start for Gwinnett as a designated hitter, so Atlanta is seemingly planning on having Murphy remain on assignment through at least Friday before bringing him back from the 10-day injured list.

  • Heading to bench Wednesday
    Naylor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: Naylor started behind the dish in the first two games of the series, so he's likely just getting a breather as the Guardians and Mets wrap up their three-game set with an afternoon matchup. Austin Hedges will handle the catching duties for Cleveland. Rotowire.com Today, 7:47 am
     
  • Resting Wednesday
    Nido is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

    Advice: With the Mets wrapping up their series in Cleveland with a day game, Nido will receive a breather after catching eight innings of Tuesday's 7-6 loss. Omar Narvaez will spell Nido behind the plate Wednesday. Rotowire.com Today, 7:16 am
     
  • Moves rehab up to Triple-A
    Marchan (back) has been transferred to Triple-A Lehigh Valley to continue his rehab assignment.

    Advice: Marchan missed all of spring training and began the year on the injured list with a back issue. He played four rehab games with Single-A Clearwater, going 3-for-11 with a home run. With J.T. Realmuto and Garrett Stubbs holding down the catching duties with the Phillies, Marchan is likely to be optioned to Lehigh Valley once he comes off the IL. Rotowire.com Today, 6:30 am
