Jacob Stallings

Stallings is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game at Arizona, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. Stallings is 2-for-17 through eight games in May and will take a seat Tuesday for the second time in the past three days. Payton Henry will receive another look behind the plate.

Stallings is not in the lineup for Sunday's game at San Diego, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. Stallings started the past two games and will head to the bench for the series finale Sunday afternoon. Payton Henry will start at catcher in his place.

Stallings isn't starting Thursday against the Padres, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. Stallings has gone 1-for-9 with two runs and a walk over his last three games, and he'll be out of the lineup for a second consecutive matchup. Payton Henry will start behind the plate and bat ninth.

Stallings will sit Saturday against Seattle, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. Stallings sits for the second time in three games, something he hadn't done previously this year. Payton Henry gets the nod behind the plate.

Stallins will be on the bench for Thursday's game against Washington, Joe Frisaro of ManOnSecondBaseball.com reports. Stallings will take a seat Thursday for just the fourth time this season. Payton Henry will step in behind the plate.

Stallings will sit Saturday against Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. Stallings has handled a heavy workload behind the plate this season. Saturday's day off is just his third in the Marlins' first 14 games. Payton Henry will take over behind the plate.

Stallings went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Friday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Giants. The Marlins' new starting catcher made an immediate impact in his debut for the team, taking Dominic Leone deep in the seventh inning for a two-run shot to get Miami on the board before bringing home Miguel Rojas with a single in the ninth as part of a three-run rally. Stallings hit a career-high eight homers in 112 games last season for the Pirates, so power hasn't been a big part of his game to date, but the 32-year-old wouldn't be the first backstop to grow as a hitter later in their career if he does keep slugging.

Stallings went 1-for-3 with an RBI in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Mets. The veteran catcher is hitting a lackluster .235 (4-for-17) this spring, but Stallings' spot at the top of the Marlins' depth chart isn't in jeopardy. The 32-year-old's defense will keep him behind the plate most days, and he did post a career-high eight homers and 53 RBI last year for the Pirates before an offseason trade.

BRADENTON, Fla. — Connor Scott was sitting on his couch with his girlfriend late last November, watching what he thinks was “probably a Mark Wahlberg movie,” when his phone rang.

Know how we know trading for Jacob Stallings was a good and smart idea for the Yankees to explore? Because it’s an idea the Boston Red Sox also had. Know how we know the Yankees didn’t look into the idea quite hard enough? Because they almost let the Sox pull it off, right from under their noses, and were saved at the buzzer by a bit of Derek Jeter-led Miami Marlins ingenuity. Woof.

That never materialized and Pittsburgh ended up shipping Stallings to the Marlins for pitchers Zach Thompson and Kyle Nicolas as well as outfielder Connor Scott on Monday.
