Cervelli went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 4-3 win over the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran catcher took Michael Wacha deep in the second inning to open the scoring. Cervelli isn't exactly thriving as the starting backstop for the Marlins, hitting .227 (5-for-22) through six games, but two of those hits have left the yard. Until Jorge Alfaro (illness) has a timetable for his return, Cervelli will continue to draw a heavy workload.

Cervelli went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran catcher took John Means deep in the fifth inning for the first run of the game -- and the eventual game-winning hit -- as well as his first homer of 2020. With Jorge Alfaro one of the many Marlins players on the COVID-19 injured list right now, Cervelli is locked in as Miami's starting backstop.

Cervelli is set to fill the No. 2 catcher role for the Marlins when the season finally resumes.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran backstop might have opened the season in the top job, but the delayed start to the campaign should give Jorge Alfaro enough time to fully recover from an oblique strain. Cervelli, who has an extensive concussion history, had a rough start to the spring at the plate before the Grapefruit League schedule was suspended, going 2-for-17 with a double, but his 5:3 BB:K suggests his timing wasn't an issue.

Cervelli agreed to a one-year, $2 million contract with the Marlins on Monday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cervelli was released by the Pirates in August after concussion concerns put his future in jeopardy, but he was able to serve as a backup catcher for the Braves. He'll now get another chance to accrue major-league work with the Marlins after a disappointing 2019 season where he hit .213/.302/.348 with three home runs and 12 RBI. The 33-year-old could manage to carve out some playing time in Miami if he can remain healthy, but he'll likely begin the season as a backup to Jorge Alfaro.

Cervelli went 1-for-2 with a solo home run Tuesday in the Braves' 9-6 loss to the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Cervelli occupied the designated-hitter spot for the first of two games in Kansas City and was able to cut the Braves' deficit to four when he slugged his third homer of the season in the fifth inning. According to Mark Bowman of MLB.com, the final bench spot on the Braves' postseason roster will likely come down to either Cervelli or rookie Austin Riley, and the veteran seems to have the edge at the moment. Along with providing a third catching option and backup at first base behind Freddie Freeman (elbow), Cervelli is also running hotter at the plate than Riley, who has struck out in 16 of his 31 at-bats since rejoining the Braves earlier in September.

Cervelli (finger) is in the lineup Saturday against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

This will be Cervelli's first start since Sept. 10. He had been out after sustaining a laceration on his left ring finger. Look for Cervelli to start once or twice more over the final week, as the Braves look to keep their two primary catchers fresh.

Cervelli hasn't played since Sept. 10 after sustaining a laceration on his left ring finger, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The injury explains why the Braves were compelled to call up another catcher in John Ryan Murphy from Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday. Murphy will temporarily slot in as the No. 3 backstop behind Brian McCann and Tyler Flowers, but Cervelli said he expects to take back those duties at some point during the final week of the regular season.

Cervelli (quadriceps) will start at catcher and bat seventh Monday against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Cervelli experienced cramping in his left quad in his last start Wednesday in Toronto, but it was never viewed as a major concern for the veteran. With the Braves welcoming Brian McCann back from the injured list Sunday, Cervelli ranks no higher than second on the depth chart at catcher and probably won't make more than a start or two per week for the rest of the season.

Cervelli (quadriceps) remains out of the lineup Saturday against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Cervelli's left quad cramped up Wednesday in his third game with Atlanta. He was said to be available off the bench Friday but did not appear in the game. The Braves will welcome back Brian McCann on Sunday, so Cervelli's playing time will likely be limited down the stretch as the team's No. 3 catcher.

Cervelli (quadriceps) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Cervelli was pulled from Wednesday's contest with left quad cramps, and he'll remain on the bench following Thursday's scheduled off day. The 33-year-old may not have been slated to start regardless, as Tyler Flowers will work behind the plate Friday. According to David O'Brien of The Athletic, the Braves would like to avoid using Cervelli, but he's available off the bench if necessary.
