Stallings was non-tendered by the Marlins on Friday, making him a free agent.
Stallings was a regular presence at catcher for Miami between 2022-23 and drew high praise for his defense, but he slashed just .210/.287/.290 over 660 plate appearances during that two-year stretch. The 33-year-old will probably have to accept a backup job somewhere for the 2024 season.

Marlins' Jacob Stallings: Heads to bench Wednesday
Rotowire
Stallings is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.
The playing time at catcher has been tilting in Stallings' favor of late, with the 33-year-old having started behind the dish in three of the previous four games. Stallings will give way to Nick Fortes on Wednesday, but even if one of the two emerges as the Marlins' clear-cut top option over the final six weeks of the season, neither is expected to deliver much meaningful fantasy value.

Rotowire

Rotowire
Stallings is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rotowire
Stallings will start at catcher and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Rays, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Stallings will pick up his third start in four games and may have usurped Nick Fortes as the Marlins' preferred option behind the plate.

Marlins' Jacob Stallings: Good to go Sunday
Rotowire
Stallings (ankle) will start at catcher and bat ninth in Sunday's game against Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Stallings was removed from Friday's 16-4 loss due to a sore left ankle, but after sitting Saturday, he'll be good to go for the series finale. The 33-year-old remains the No. 2 backstop behind Nick Fortes, though the latter's decline as a hitter this season has made Miami's catching situation more of a timeshare.
