DFA'd Saturday The Marlins designated Wallach for assignment on Saturday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact The catcher was recalled before Friday's game and struck out in his only plate appearance. Wallach has appeared in 23 total games for the Marlins this season, hitting .200 with six RBI and 32 strikeouts. He was DFA'd to make room on the 40-man roster for Brian Anderson, whom the team activated from the 60-day injured list Saturday.

Recalled by Miami Wallach was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.

Impact Wallach appeared in 22 games with the major-league club earlier in the year, but he spent nearly two months at Triple-A Jacksonville prior to Friday's call-up. He hit .204 with seven home runs, 17 RBI and 11 runs across 31 minor-league contests, and he should serve as catching depth in the near future.

Optioned to Triple-A Wallach was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Wallach had lost out on playing time recently, and he'll head to the minors after Jorge Alfaro (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Wallach slashed .203/.246/.271 with three extra-base hits, six RBI and two runs to begin the season.

Stuck in No. 2 role Wallach remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Though top catcher Jorge Alfaro (hamstring) hasn't played since April 20, Wallach remains stuck in the No. 2 role behind the plate. Rather than Wallach, veteran Sandy Leon has seemingly emerged as the Marlins' preferred backstop. Leon will pick up his third consecutive start Wednesday.

Takes seat Friday Wallach isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Giants, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Wallach went hitless in two at-bats while serving as a starter in Thursday's series opener against San Francisco. However, Sandy Leon will start behind the dish Friday, batting eighth.

Draws start Thursday Wallach will start at catcher and bat eighth in Thursday's lineup against the Giants, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Wallach was expected to see an uptick in playing time after Jorge Alfaro (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday. However, Sandy Leon drew the first start in Alfaro's absence, so it remains to be seen how the playing time behind the dish will be split.

Not starting Wednesday Wallach isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Wallach could see the bulk of the playing time behind the dish in the near future after Jorge Alfaro (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day IL on Wednesday. However, Sandy Leon will start behind the dish Wednesday, batting eighth.

Lands No. 2 catching job Wallach won a spot on the Marlins' Opening Day roster as the No. 2 catcher, Jordan McPherson of The Miami Herald reports.

Impact He beat out veteran non-roster invitee Sandy Leon for the job. Wallach is a solid defender and game-caller behind the plate, traits which allowed him to assume the starting role down the stretch last year as Jorge Alfaro struggled, but Wallach's career .600 OPS in the majors gives him little fantasy ceiling even if he were to see significant playing time again.

Looks like top backstop Wallach will start at catcher and will bat ninth Wednesday in Game 1 of the Marlins' wild-card series with the Cubs, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Though Jorge Alfaro (when healthy) has retained the top spot on the Marlins' depth chart at catcher for much of this season, his struggles at the dish resulted in him ceding work to Wallach down the stretch. Wallach was behind the plate for three of the Marlins' final four regular-season contests, and his inclusion in the lineup for the team's postseason opener leaves little doubt that manager Don Mattingly views him as the top backstop for the time being.
