Ruiz will start Sunday in order to catch for Aaron Nola, Jim Salisbury of CSN Philadelpia reports.
Manager Pete Mackanin is hoping Ruiz can help Nola turn things around after going 0-3 with a 15.83 ERA over his last three starts. If Nola has success, it might help Ruiz pick up some additional playing time as he would likely be paired up with Nola moving forward. Ruiz has also recently become Jared Eickhoff's personal catcher.
