Maldonado is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Phillies.

Maldonado has not caught more than two games in a row this season, and after catching back-to-back games, Maldonado will yield to Elias Diaz behind the plate Friday. Maldonado has four home runs and a .512 OPS in 138 plate appearances during 2025.

Baldwin isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.

Baldwin will get a day off Thursday after going 2-for-5 with a three-run homer during Wednesday's win over the A's. Sean Murphy will get the nod to start at catcher instead while batting fourth in the series finale.

Adams isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cardinals, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

The Nationals will give Adams a chance to regroup Thursday after the 29-year-old backstop went 1-for-12 with four strikeouts over his last three contests. Drew Millas will start at catcher instead and bat eighth.

Torrens is not in the lineup for the second game of Thursday's doubleheader in Baltimore.

After going 0-for-4 at the dish in the first game of the twin bill, Torrens will grab a seat for the nightcap. Hayden Senger is catching and batting ninth as the Mets try to avoid the doubleheader sweep.

Pages is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Nationals.

Pages had made nine starts in a row at catcher, so he's earned a breather for Thursday's series finale. Yohel Pozo will be behind the dish and bat eighth for the Cardinals.

Stephenson is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Marlins.

Jose Trevino will get another turn behind the plate while Stephenson heads to the bench for the second time in the series. Stephenson still appears to be the Reds' clear No. 1 backstop, but he's been in the midst of a lull at the dish of late, having gone 6-for-33 with no home runs and a 33.3 percent strikeout rate over his last 12 games.

McCann went 1-for-2 with two walks, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 8-2 win over San Diego.

McCann's been a welcome addition to the offense, going 7-for-20 (.350) with six walks, four extra-base hits, four RBI and six runs scored over his first seven contests. However, his biggest contribution may be as a manager of pitchers. After backstopping Zac Gallen through two consecutive strong outings, McCann guided Brandon Pfaadt through eight innings, the starter's longest outing of the season. Prior to McCann's arrival, Pfaadt had failed to pitch six innings in seven straight starts (8.48 ERA), but he's thrown six and now eight innings (12 strikeouts, 3.86) in his two starts with McCann as a batterymate.

Baldwin went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in a 9-2 win against the Athletics on Wednesday.

Baldwin helped Atlanta get off to a big start, mashing a 431-foot, three-run shot to center field in the first inning. It was his second homer over his past four games, a span in which he's gone 5-for-15 with five RBI and just two strikeouts. Baldwin is making a viable case for NL Rookie of the Year honors, posting a .278/.353/.489 slash line with 11 home runs, 31 RBI and 21 runs scored over 61 games.

Adams will start at catcher and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

With Keibert Ruiz (concussion) going back on the 7-day injured list Tuesday for the second time in less than two weeks, Adams looks poised to serve as the Nationals' No. 1 catcher through the All-Star break. He will pick up his third consecutive start Wednesday.

Kelly is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

He's getting a breather after starting behind the plate in Tuesday's 8-1 loss while going 0-for-2 with a walk. Reese McGuire will handle the catching duties Wednesday.
