Ramírez had been 1-for-24 since his two-homer game on Apr. 28, which is probably part of why he didn’t start tonight. Especially with the Marlins having Nick Fortes back — he’s caught the last two days — Ramírez is probably not a mixed-league catcher right now, even though he still offers that kind of potential.

It’s worth noting that rookie backstop Agustín Ramírez went 2-for-4 in this one and is now hitting .283 through 14 games to open his big-league career. Meanwhile, Mervis’ latest hitless performance leaves him at .191 through 29 contests. The Marlins have top prospect Joe Mack, who is a phenomenal defender behind the plate, pushing to reach the big leagues soon. The logical decision would be to shift Ramírez to a full-time DH role, which would likely bump Mervis from the roster altogether.

Bellozo authored one of the strongest starts of his young career against Los Angeles’ certifiable Death Star, which admittedly isn’t operating on full-power mode due to injuries. The 25-year-old righty finished with seven strikeouts and only issued a pair of walks, limiting the Dodgers to just one hit into the sixth inning. He’s not guaranteed another turn in Miami’s rotation, but he’s probably earned it. He’s in line to take the ball on Tuesday against the Cubs and isn’t a recommended streaming option for fantasy purposes.

Baldwin’s solo home run in the fifth inning started the Braves comeback that would eventually be for naught, but he has managed to keep hitting despite falling into a back-up role since Sean Murphy returned from injury. He’s only playing one of every three games – very standard for a back-up catcher – yet has maintained some relevance in two-catcher formats with his .796 OPS on the season and three home runs in his last 15 starts.

Phillies manager Rob Thomson told reporters following Realmuto’s early exit from Wednesday’s contest after fouling a ball off his left foot that his level of concern is basically zero before adding that he won’t even need to undergo precautionary X-rays. It doesn’t sound like a serious concern for now.

Herrera was at DH in his latest rehab contest after recording seven innings behind the plate during Tuesday’s game. The 24-year-old backstop figures to return to the Cardinals’ lineup at some point later this week. He’s been out since early April working his way back from a bone bruise in his left knee.
