      Advice: Delay had been at Single-A Bradenton, where he was hitless with one walk in his lone game. The 29-year-old is coming back from meniscus surgery on his right knee and could be need by the big club, depending on the status of Joey Bart (thumb). Rotowire.com Monday, 1:57 pm

    • Reinstated, optioned to Triple-A
      Marchan (back) was activated from the injured list and optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday.

      Advice: Marchan will effectively continue his rehab assignment with Lehigh Valley with no pressing need for a third catcher at the big-league level. The 25-year-old backstop has not appeared in the majors since 2021, but he could get a look later in the season if there is an injury behind the plate in Philadelphia.

    • Sitting Sunday
      Amaya is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's contest against St. Louis.

      Advice: After going 0-for-3 with three strikeouts in Saturday's 7-6 loss to the Cardinals, Amaya will begin Sunday's game in the dugout. Yan Gomes will start behind home plate and bat ninth against Cardinals right-hander Sonny Gray. Rotowire.com Sunday, 1:52 pm

      Rodriguez (elbow) will begin playing catch soon, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

      Advice: Rodriguez has been rehabbing at the team's facility in Florida and has already been cleared to swing from the left side of the plate.

    • Logs steal in win
      Stubbs went 2-for-4 with one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 8-4 win over the Rockies.

      Advice: Stubbs' playing time remains low as the backup to J.T. Realmuto. This was Stubbs' first multi-hit effort of the season, but he's still just 3-for-24 (.125) in May. The catcher is at a .140/.213/.140 slash line with three steals, two RBI and three runs scored over 47 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Saturday, 10:25 pm
