Pages (illness) will start at catcher and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Reds.

Jul 26Rotowire

Pages was a late scratch from the lineup ahead of Wednesday's 1-0 win over the Angels after coming down with a stomach virus, but he's moved past the ailment and will pick up his first start since July 18. The Cardinals aren't expected to have more than one or two starts per week available for Pages while Jimmy Crooks and Ivan Herrera are both healthy.

The Cardinals scratched Pages from the lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Angels due to a stomach virus, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Jul 22Rotowire

Jimmy Crooks will draw the start at catcher and bat ninth in place of Pages, who can be considered day-to-day. Since tying a season high with three hits in a 9-6 win over the Twins on June 13, Pages has gone just 3-for-26 (.115 average) with a 39.3 percent strikeout rate.

Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol indicated Pages will see a downturn in playing time following the promotion of Jimmy Crooks, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

May 29Rotowire

Pages leads the team with 34 starts at catcher this season, but he appears in line to serve as the third catcher moving forward behind Crooks and Ivan Herrera. The 27-year-old Pages is a quality defensive catcher but sports a career .230/.273/.366 slash line over parts of three big-league seasons.

Pages is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers.

May 26Rotowire

The Cardinals will give Pages a break after he started behind the plate in both of the team's past two games. Ivan Herrera will handle catching duties Tuesday, opening up the designated-hitter spot for Yohel Pozo.

Pages isn't in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Reds.

May 23Rotowire

Pages went 3-for-7 with a walk and a run scored during St. Louis' last series against Pittsburgh, but he'll stay put in the dugout to begin Saturday's festivities. Ivan Herrera will handle catching duties in Game 1 while Nolan Gorman works as the DH and Cesar Prieto starts at third base.
