Yes. In Rule 7.06 of the MLB Rulebook it states: " The catcher, without the ball in his possession, has no right to block the pathway of the runner attempting to score. The base line belongs to the runner and the catcher should be there only when he is fielding a ball or when he already has the ball in his hand."

In major league baseball, a player may not re-enter the game after he has been removed. However; the all-star game has its own set of rules such that a catcher can return.
