Pedro Pages Starts His Fifth Straight Game Behind The Plate
6 months agoSt. Louis Cardinals catcher Pedro Pages will start behind the plate and bat eighth in the team's series opener against the Miami Marlins on Monday. The 25-year-old catcher has now started five straight games for the Cardinals, which has moved Ivan Herrera to the designated hitter role or on the bench. Pages is coming off the best three-game stretch of his career after launching two home runs over the weekend against the Chicago Cubs. His strong series has surely earned him more playing time. But with Willson Contreras (forearm) likely beginning a rehab assignment on Tuesday, the young catcher does not have much long-term fantasy appeal.
