Rotowire
Pages is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

Cardinals' Pedro Pages: Swats homer No. 10
Rotowire
Pages went 2-for-4 with a double and a two-run home run in Friday's 7-5 extra-inning win over the Reds.
The backstop gave the Cardinals a 3-0 lead when he took Zack Littell deep in the second inning. Pages has been splitting the workload at catcher with Yohel Pozo (concussion), and he could see a bump in playing time while Jimmy Crooks is getting his first look at the big leagues as the team's No. 2 option. Over 16 games in August, Pages is slashing an impressive .352/.407/.648 with four of his 10 homers on the season, along with nine runs and 14 RBI.

Cardinals' Pedro Pages: Regaining playing time behind plate
Rotowire
Pages will start at catcher and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Rockies.
With four starts behind the plate in the last five games, Pages appears to have at least temporarily wrested the primary catching gig away from Yohel Pozo. Already regarded as the superior defensive catcher of the two, Pages has helped his case for earning more playing time by running hot at the dish to begin August. Through five games this month, Pages has gone 6-for-16 with two home runs, one double, two walks, six RBI and three runs.

Cardinals' Pedro Pages: Launches eighth homer
Rotowire
Pages went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Cubs.
Pages opened the scoring with a third-inning blast off Shota Imanaga. While playing time hasn't been all that steady lately, Pages has made the most of it, going 7-for-19 (.368) with two homers and six RBI over his last six games dating back to July 29. The catcher is splitting duties with Yohel Pozo behind the dish in what's emerging as a fairly even timeshare. On the year, Pages has a .211/.256/.341 slash line with eight homers, 35 RBI, 29 runs scored and no stolen bases across 87 contests.

Cardinals' Pedro Pages: Idle Wednesday
Rotowire
Pages is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.
Pages will get a breather for the series finale while Yohel Pozo receives a turn at catcher Wednesday. Though the Cardinals appear to have ruled out Ivan Herrera from playing behind the plate anytime soon, Pages' grasp on the No. 1 catcher role appears to be slipping. He's getting on base at a .147 clip and hasn't produced an extra-base hit in 10 games since the All-Star break, with his offensive struggles opening the door for Pozo to pick up more playing time.
