Diamondbacks' Jose Herrera: Receiving breather Wednesday
Herrera is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.
He'll take a seat for the day game after he went 0-for-4 while catching all nine innings of Tuesday night's 3-1 loss. James McCann will spell Herrera behind the plate in the series finale.

Francisco Alvarez C | NYM
Mets' Francisco Alvarez: Getting afternoon off
Alvarez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.
After getting called up from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday, Alvarez started behind the plate in the first two contests of the series and went 2-for-6 with a home run, a double, two walks, two RBI and two additional runs. Luis Torrens will get the nod behind the plate for Wednesday's day game, but so long as he's swinging a hot bat, Alvarez could be in store for the bulk of the starts at catcher.

Padres' Martin Maldonado: Getting breather Wednesday
Maldonado is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.
Maldonado will get some rest for Wednesday's day game after he started behind the plate in the first two games of the series while going 2-for-6 with a pair of doubles, an RBI and a run. Elias Diaz will handle catching duties in the series finale.

Tyler Stephenson C | CIN
Reds' Tyler Stephenson: Sitting out Wednesday
Stephenson is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Nationals.
Stephenson was the Reds' catcher for Tuesday night's 6-1 loss, so it's not a surprise he's getting a breather in Wednesday's matinee. Jose Trevino will be behind the dish and bat seventh as Cincinnati tries to avoid the sweep.

Henry Davis RF | PIT
Pirates' Henry Davis: Getting third start in four games
Davis will start at catcher and bat eighth in Tuesday's game against the Tigers.
Davis and Joey Bart had been alternating turns behind the plate during the final week before the All-Star break and in the first series of the second half this past weekend, but the playing time at catcher might be starting to tilt more in Davis' favor. The Pirates will hand Davis his third start in four games, even though he's gone hitless with five strikeouts in 13 at-bats over his last five contests.
