Player Notes

  • Gets Wednesday off
    O'Hoppe is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Advice: O'Hoppe will get the afternoon off after he had started behind the plate each of the past three games. Matt Thaiss will handle catching duties for the Angels in the series finale. Rotowire.com 45 minutes ago
  • On bench again Wednesday
    Fortes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: For the second day in a row, Fortes will be on the bench while Christian Bethancourt draws another start behind the dish. Fortes had started both of the previous two games before Bethancourt picked up consecutive starts of his own, so the Marlins still seem to be viewing the catcher spot as a timeshare.

  • Draws fourth straight start
    Maile will start at catcher and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Padres.

    Advice: Maile will make his fourth consecutive start while Tyler Stephenson tends to a hand injury. The Reds continue to view Stephenson as day-to-day, so Maile could soon be headed back to the No. 2 role behind the dish. Rotowire.com Today, 11:50 am
  • Remains out Wednesday
    Stephenson (hand) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in San Diego.

    Advice: He hasn't played since exiting Saturday's game versus the Rangers following a hit-by-pitch on the right hand. The Reds have an off day Thursday, so they could be aiming for Stephenson to return to action Friday against the Orioles. Luke Maile will catch again Wednesday in Stephenson's place.

  • Gets breather Wednesday
    Bart is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

    Advice: Bart appears to have wrested the No. 1 catching job away from Henry Davis, but the former will hit the bench for Wednesday's day game after spending eight innings behind the dish in a 5-2 loss Tuesday night. Davis will draw the start Wednesday, but he could be headed to Triple-A Indianapolis if Yasmani Grandal (foot) is reinstated from the 10-day injured list this weekend. Rotowire.com Today, 10:45 am
  • On bench Wednesday
    D'Arnaud is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Seattle.

    Advice: He was behind the plate for Tuesday's 3-2 loss, so d'Arnaud will get a break for Wednesday's afternoon contest. Chadwick Tromp will start at catcher and will form a battery with starting pitcher Chris Sale. Rotowire.com Today, 9:51 am
  • Day off Wednesday
    Garver is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: Garver looks to be getting a routine day off for the series finale. With Garver on the bench, Cal Raleigh will serve as Seattle's designated hitter, while Seby Zavala steps in as the Mariners' starting catcher. Rotowire.com Today, 9:44 am
  • Sitting out Wednesday
    Jeffers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the White Sox.

    Advice: Jeffers had started each of the last seven contests (four at designated hitter and three at catcher) but will get some rest Wednesday. Christian Vazquez will catch for starting pitcher Bailey Ober as the Twins attempt to win their 10th straight game. Rotowire.com Today, 8:15 am
  • Resting Wednesday
    Rogers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Advice: Rogers will get a breather for Wednesday's day game after he was behind the plate Tuesday night for the Tigers' 11-6 win in the second game of a doubleheader with the Cardinals. Carson Kelly will pick up the start at catcher Wednesday. Rotowire.com Today, 7:06 am
