Wallach (concussion) paused his rehab assignment Tuesday due to eye fatigue, Andre Fernandez of The Athletic reports.

Wallach (concussion) will advance his rehab to Triple-A New Orleans on Wednesday, Andre Fernandez of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wallach has gone 0-for-5 in a pair of rehab contests so far. He looks to be closing in on a return early in the second half, though it's not clear if he'll be ahead of Bryan Holaday in the battle for the Marlins' backup catching job.

Wallach (concussion) will play the second game of his rehab assignment Tuesday with High-A Jupiter.
EDGE Analysis
Wallach went 0-for-2 in his first rehab contest Saturday. A concussion has kept him out of action since late May. Bryan Holaday has hit .311/.404/.489 in 16 games as the Marlins' backup this season and could keep Wallach from reclaiming his spot once healthy.

Wallach (concussion) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Wallach has been out since late May. He recently resumed baseball activities but will now be ineligible to return before late July. The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Wilkin Castillo, whose contract was selected after Jorge Alfaro landed on the injured list with a concussion of his own.

Wallach cleared concussion protocol and resumed baseball activities Monday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wallach has been on the injured list since May 24 with what was apparently a fairly significant concussion. He should be back in action before too long and could reclaim the backup catcher job from Bryan Holaday.

Wallach remains in Major League Baseball's concussion protocol and is without a clear timeline to return from the 10-day injured list, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Marlins' decision to place Wallach on the 10-day rather than the 7-day injured list back on May 24 hinted that the backstop's concussion wasn't a mild one. It's unclear how much Wallach has progressed -- if at all -- since being shut down, but he won't be in store for a major role upon returning from the IL. Jorge Alfaro remains locked in as the Marlins' clear No. 1 catcher.

Wallach was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a concussion, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wallach apparently sustained the concussion in Tuesday's game against the Tigers, though he never actually exited the contest. It's unclear why the Marlins opted to utilize the 10-day IL rather than the 7-day version, which is earmarked specifically for concussions. Regardless, the 27-year-old will be eligible to be activated June 1, while Bryan Holaday joins the team to fill in as Jorge Alfaro's backup behind the plate.

Wallach will start at catcher and bat seventh Sunday against the Braves, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wallach is entering the lineup for just the second time in eight games with top backstop Jorge Alfaro receiving a maintenance day. The non-contending Marlins don't have much incentive to even out the distribution of starts behind the plate with Alfaro viewed as a member of their near- and long-term core, so expect Wallach's playing time to remain fairly scarce throughout the season, unless an injury to Alfaro intervenes.

Wallach went 1-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Monday's loss to the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
The catcher took Yu Darvish deep in the fourth inning for his first homer of the year. Jorge Alfaro (chest) is banged up at the moment, so Wallach could see consistent at-bats in the short term. He's taken advantage of his opportunities so far, slashing .333/.462/.524 in eight games, but the 27-year-old's .619 career OPS indicates the bottom could drop out of his numbers in a hurry.

Wallach will start at catcher and bat seventh Sunday against the Braves, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With top backstop Jorge Alfaro receiving a routine maintenance day, Wallach will check into the lineup for third time this season. Wallach isn't expected to play more than a couple times per week so long as Alfaro is healthy and therefore doesn't warrant much attention in the fantasy realm.
