Herrera went 3-for-4 with a walk, three home runs and six RBI in Wednesday's 12-5 win over the Angels.

The 24-year-old took Yusei Kikuchi deep in the fourth and sixth innings before capping his huge performance with an eighth-inning blast off Brock Burke. In the process, Herrera became the first catcher in Cardinals history with a three-homer game. The long balls were also the first of the season for Herrera, and through five appearances so far in 2025 he's batting .467 (7-for-15) with two doubles, five runs and eight RBI.

Baldwin is not in Atlanta's starting lineup against the Dodgers on Wednesday.

The lefty-hitting Baldwin started in Atlanta's last two games, but he'll rest Wednesday as the Dodgers send southpaw Blake Snell to the mound. Chadwick Tromp will serve behind home plate and bat eighth.

Herrera will start throwing from his knees in hopes that it will help him better control the running game, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Baserunners are 5-for-5 on stolen base attempts against Herrera this season and 60-for-64 since the beginning of last year. The throwing problems have led to Herrera sometimes being removed from games he starts in the later innings when the Cardinals need to prioritize defense. Herrera clubbed three home runs in Wednesday's game versus the Angels, and the Cardinals want to keep his bat in the lineup as often as possible. Improving his throwing will help ensure that.

Fortes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Fortes will get a breather as the Marlins close out their series versus the Mets with a late-afternoon game. Liam Hicks will check in for Fortes behind the plate and bat seventh.

Diaz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

Diaz will get some rest for the day game after he went 0-for-7 while starting behind the dish in the first two contests of the series. Martin Maldonado will handle the catching duties for San Diego on Wednesday.

Bailey is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Houston.

It's a routine day off for Bailey, who will yield to Sam Huff at catcher. The switch-hitting Bailey is only 1-for-12 at the plate in his first five contests this season.

Amaya is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Athletics.

He'll sit in favor of Carson Kelly, who is getting his second start in the series after hitting for the cycle Monday. It's been a fairly even split between Amaya and Kelly so far this season in terms of playing time, with Amaya drawing five starts to Kelly's four.

Torrens is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

Torrens will get his first day off of the season after he started behind the plate in each of the Mets' first five games while going 4-for-14 with a home run, two doubles, one walk and two RBI. Hayden Senger will form a battery with starting pitcher Clay Holmes on Wednesday, but Torrens should see the bulk of the starts at catcher until Francisco Alvarez (hand) is ready to return from the injured list.

Bart is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

Bart will take a seat as the Pirates and Rays wrap up their series with a day game after a night game. Endy Rodriguez will receive a turn behind the plate Wednesday.

Haase went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Royals.

With William Contreras serving as the Brewers' designated hitter, Haase picked up his first start of the season behind the dish. Haase provided some pop at the bottom of the order, putting Milwaukee on the board with a 419-foot blast off Michael Lorenzen in the third inning. Despite playing a big part in the leading the Brewers to their first win of 2025, Haase will likely see scant playing time during his second season in Milwaukee with Contreras coming off an All-Star campaign.
