Cardinals' Pedro Pages: In line for more work
Rotowire
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.

Cardinals' Pedro Pages: Drills three-run shot
Rotowire
Pages went 3-for-4 with a three-run homer and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Twins.
Pages doubled and scored a run on Victor Scott's three-run homer in the second inning before hammering a three-run shot of his own in the third. It was Pages' first appearance of the 2025 season, as he looks to carve out a role behind Ivan Herrera, who went 4-for-7 with two doubles in his first two games. Pages posted a .657 OPS through 218 plate appearances as a rookie in 2024.
Cardinals' Pedro Pages: Seeing benefits from swing change
Rotowire
Pages adopted a new batting stance earlier this week in which he stands taller in the box and holds his hand higher, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Pages began to see the changes pay dividends in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game versus the Mets, as he contributed an opposite-field double while also hitting two hard lineouts. The 26-year-old Pages is competing with Ivan Herrera for playing time at catcher and is likely to enter the season as 1B to Herrera's 1A behind the dish.
Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak said Wednesday that Pages and Ivan Herrera will split catching duties next season, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
Willson Contreras will be a first baseman and designated hitter moving forward, clearing a path to playing time at catcher. Pages was the preferred option over Herrera down the stretch of the 2024 season while Contreras was hurt, mostly because he's viewed as a much better defender. The 26-year-old Pages slashed .238/.281/.376 with seven homers over 68 contests this past season.
Pages went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Thursday's 10-8 loss to the Rockies.
Pages launched a two-run homer off Angel Chivilli in the eighth inning to give the Cardinals an 8-5 lead but the advantage was erased when Colorado put up five runs in the bottom of the frame. The long ball was Pages' seventh of the season, and he's slashing .236/.275/.361 across 209 plate appearances.
