Torrens (forearm) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

He'll be on the bench for the third game in a row while he gets more time to recover from a right forearm contusion. Hayden Senger will get another turn behind the dish, but the Mets' willingness to use Torrens off the bench in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jays suggests that he'll be ready to return to the starting lineup soon.

Pages is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates.

Though he's the Cardinals' new No. 1 catcher after Ivan Herrera (knee) was placed on the injured list earlier Monday, Pages will get a breather for the series opener in Pittsburgh after he caught 17 innings during Sunday's doubleheader with the Red Sox. The newly promoted Yohel Pozo will draw the start behind the dish Monday in his Cardinals debut.

The Cardinals placed Herrera (knee) on the 10-day injured list Monday.

Herrera tweaked his left knee while running the bases in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Red Sox. He was diagnosed with inflammation after tests on his knee came back negative, but Herrera has since headed back to St. Louis to be evaluated further before the Cardinals determine how long he might be out. While Herrera is sidelined, Pedro Pages will serve as the Cardinals' primary catcher.

Diaz went 0-for-5 with a strikeout Sunday against the Twins.

Diaz has struggled significantly to begin the season, collecting only two hits across 26 at-bats. He has just a .105 BABIP -- a mark that will surely improve -- but Diaz has also seen his strikeout rate inflate to 25 percent in the early going.

Heim went 2-for-4 with a stolen base, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Rays.

Heim had a rare steal in the seventh inning and scored a run, but his greatest contribution was a walk-off single that plated Josh Smith with the game-winning run. The stolen base was Heim's first since April 15, 2024, and he's 9-for-11 in his career on stolen-base attempts. He's splitting time at catcher with Kyle Higashioka, which could benefit Heim's production. He's had issues after All-Star breaks while averaging 130 games played over the previous three seasons.

Pages combined to go 2-for-9 with two doubles and three RBI during Sunday's doubleheader against Boston.

Pages entered Game 1 of the doubleheader and went 2-for-4 with two doubles and three RBI after Ivan Herrera suffered a knee injury. Herrera will be heading to the injured list, though his timeline is currently unclear. Pages followed up his strong Game 1 performance by going 0-for-5 with two punchouts in Game 2. Still, he should move into a primary role until Herrera is ready to return. Pages is slashing .316/.316/.632 with four extra-base hits through seven appearances.

Raleigh went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and a walk in Sunday's loss to the Giants.

Raleigh went deep in the third inning for his second long ball of the year after knocking a double in the first. He later singled in the seventh and was intentionally walked in the ninth. Raleigh's first multi-hit game of 2025 boosted his slash line to .222/.349/.417 with three extra-base hits through 43 plate appearances.

O'Hoppe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over Cleveland.

O'Hoppe has now gone deep in four consecutive games and has five long balls through 30 plate appearances. The 25-year-old catcher wasted no time Sunday, drilling a solo homer in the second inning. He owns a .345/.367/.862 slash line with nine RBI and a 1:10 BB:K through seven appearances.

Herrera (knee) is expected to be placed on the 10-day injured list ahead of Monday's game against the Pirates, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

After exiting the first game of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Red Sox due to left knee inflammation, Herrera was sent in for further testing. According to manager Oliver Marmol, those tests returned clean, but Herrera will still need time to heal from the knee injury and will go on the IL. Pedro Pages drew the start behind the plate in the nightcap of Sunday's twin bill and will likely get the lion's share of starts at catcher in Herrera's absence. Herrera had gotten off to a hot start to the season, slashing a blistering .381/.458/1.048 with four home runs, 11 RBI and six runs through 24 plate appearances.

Wong is not in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Wong will head to the bench after he went 1-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout in Boston's 5-4 extra-inning win in the first game of the doubleheader. Carlos Narvaez will take over behind the plate and bat eighth in the nightcap.
