Not starting Sunday Stallings (ankle) will be on the bench Saturday against Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Stallings left Friday's series opener with a sore left ankle. He'll hit the bench Saturday, but there's no guarantee that's due to the injury, as he hasn't started back-to-back games since mid-May. Nick Fortes will start behind the plate.

Leaves with ankle soreness Stallings exited Friday's game against Atlanta with left ankle soreness, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Stallings went 0-for-2 with a strikeout before departing. Nick Fortes has taken over behind the plate. For now, Stallings should be considered day-to-day, but it's likely Miami will have the backstop undergo further testing before determining how long he'll be out of action.

Drives in run Sunday Stallings went 1-for-3 with an RBI in Sunday's win over the A's.

Impact His fourth-inning sacrifice fly helped the Marlins come back from an early 5-1 deficit. Stallings has split the workload behind the plate with Nick Fortes this season, seeing 99 plate appearances to Fortes' 125, but it's his glove that keeps him in the mix, not his bat. Stallings is slashing a putrid .161/.227/.218 with zero homers, seven runs and eight RBI.

Losing work to Fortes Stallings is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Now on the bench for the fourth time in six games and the sixth time in the past nine contests, Stallings appears to have slipped to No. 2 on the depth chart at catcher behind Nick Fortes. Though he continues to grade out adequately on the defensive end, Stallings has become an even greater liability with the bat, as he enters Sunday's contest with a lowly .136/.224/.205 slash line and career-worst 28.6 percent strikeout rate over 49 plate appearances.

Day off Friday Stallings is not in the starting lineup Friday versus the Cubs, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Stallings will take a seat as the Marlins elect to have Nick Fortes catch for Jesus Luzardo, who's on the mound Friday. Stallings has gone 0-for-10 over his last three starts, so he'll hope the day off will help him get right from the plate.

Good to go Monday Stallings (back) will start at catcher and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Phillies.

Impact He'll check back in behind the dish after he was sidelined for the Marlins' previous four contests due to a back issue. Thanks to his defensive acumen, Stallings still appears to be the Marlins' nominal No. 1 catcher, though Nick Fortes should play more frequently than most backup backstops.

APRIL 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out of lineup again Sunday Stallings (back) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Stallings was scratched from the lineup Saturday with back tightness, and he won't return for the series finale against the Mets. Nick Fortes gets the start behind the plate in his absence.

APRIL 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scratched from lineup Stallings was scratched from the lineup Saturday against the Mets with back tightness, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Sitting Friday Stallings is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Marlins manager Skip Schumaker stated before the season that Stallings would split time behind the dish with Nick Fortes, so seeing the two of them each get a start in the Marlins' first two games isn't surprising. Fortes will start at catcher Friday and bat eighth.

Nimmo's 2-run double sends Scherzer, Mets past Marlins 5-3

Brandon Nimmo broke a seventh-inning tie with a two-run double, sending Max Scherzer and the New York Mets to a 5-3 victory over the Miami Marlins

MARCH 30, 2023 • Associated Press

Set to split catching duties Manager Skip Schumaker said Wednesday that Stallings will begin the season in a timeshare at catcher with Nick Fortes, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Stallings' skills behind the plate remain stellar, and the 33-year-old caught every one of Sandy Alcantara's starts in 2022 as the right-hander put together a Cy Young campaign. His .584 OPS was a disappointment, however, and Stallings will need to rebound if he's going to have much fantasy appeal. He's gone just 1-for-15 at the plate this spring but has yet to strike out while drawing three walks, suggesting he's been the victim of some bad luck rather than struggling with his timing.
