  • Has career day vs Padres
    Marchan went 4-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 9-2 over the Padres.

    Advice: In his third big league game since 2021, Marchan had a banner night, reaching base in each of his four at-bats and driving in a pair. On Friday, he hit his first home run, and he followed it up nicely with this showing. With J.T. Realmuto going down with a knee injury, Marchan's only competition for playing time is Garrett Stubbs, whose current slash line of .191/.267/.206 leaves a lot to be desired.

  • Back on bench Monday
    Knizner is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: Sam Huff will step in behind the dish in the series opener after Knizner started at catcher in all three of the Rangers' games in Seattle over the weekend while going 1-for-9. Top backstop Jonah Heim (personal) is on track to return from the paternity list Tuesday, so Knizner will soon move back to second on the depth chart and see his playing time trend toward.

  • Getting rest Monday
    Kelly is out of the lineup for Monday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: Kelly will get a breather after he started behind the plate both of the past two days. Jake Rogers will step in as the Tigers' starting catcher Monday. Rotowire.com Today, 3:18 pm
     
  • Sitting against lefty again
    Campusano is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.

    Advice: The Padres seem to have opted for a de facto platoon at catcher of late, even though both Campusano and Kyle Higashioka are right-handed hitters. Higashioka will stick in the lineup Monday for the fourth time in the Padres' last five matchups with lefties, while Campusano will take a seat. Campusano should still see the bulk of the playing time behind the dish as the Padres' preferred option against righties. Rotowire.com Today, 12:40 pm
     
  • Mets release Tomás Nido
    Mets released C Tomás Nido.

    Advice: Nido was designated for assignment last week and went through waivers unclaimed, so the Mets officially released him, He’s not free to sign for another team, and while a few teams like the Rockies and Phillies have recently suffered injuries at catcher, it’s unclear if there will be much interest in a 30-year-old who is a career .214/.251/.313 hitter at the MLB level.

  • Cut loose by Mets
    The Mets released Nido on Monday, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: Nido cleared waivers after being designated for assignment last week and is now free to sign with another organization. The veteran catcher has a career .564 OPS over parts of eight major-league seasons but is viewed as a strong defender, so he could draw interest as a backup catcher elsewhere.
