You just said that there is a platoon, maybe you were referring to something else but I thought you were referencing that Twins team. Either way, teams don't tend to replace the starting catcher in an MLB game unless it is an injury related issue or an extended extra-inning situation (i.e. the backup catcher is pinch-hitting for a pitcher when there are no other position players left).

I don't necessarily agree with that usage, I think teams could make a lot better use of their backup catcher...but that isn't the reality.
