Plate discipline: MLB umps crack down on blocking home
A few close plays at the plate over the past couple weeks have infuriated MLB catchersAUGUST 22, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Sitting, but looks like top catcher Nola is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.
Impact With starts behind the plate in three of the past four contests and eight of the previous 11 games, Nola appears to have overtaken Jorge Alfaro as the Friars' No. 1 catcher. Alfaro will get the starting nod Sunday, but Nola has been the far better performer in August with a .730 OPS to Alfaro's .374 mark.

Back on bench Nola is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins.
Impact Nola had seen an uptick in playing time of late while Jorge Alfaro had nursed a knee issue, but Alfaro looks to be healthy again and will pick up his second start behind the plate in the Padres' last three games. Though he no longer has a clear path to the top catcher's role, Nola is off to a strong start to August and should play more than the typical No. 2 backstop. In 11 games so far this month, Nola has hit .265 with a home run, four walks, six runs and five RBI.

For the season, Nola has a .247/.318/.324 line across 283 plate appearances.

Opportunities picking up Nola will start at catcher and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Giants.
Impact Nola will step in behind the plate for the fourth time in five games while fellow backstop Jorge Alfaro (knee) is tending to an injury. Alfaro isn't expected to require a trip to the injured list, but Nola may have forced his way into a timeshare at catcher. Since the beginning of July, Nola has slashed .277/.342/.323 with three doubles, a stolen base, five RBI and four runs in 21 games.
