  • Sharing work with Bethancourt
    Fortes will start at catcher and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: Fortes appeared to be taking control of the Marlins' No. 1 catching job earlier this month, but he's fallen back into more of a timeshare with Christian Bethancourt of late, with both backstops having now made two starts apiece over the last four contests. The downturn in playing time comes while Fortes has turned in a .120/.154/.120 slash line through 10 games in June. Rotowire.com Today, 8:23 am
     
  • Sitting Sunday
    Jansen is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

    Advice: Alejandro Kirk will take over behind the plate after Jansen started the first two games of the series. Jansen enjoyed a hot month of May, but his bat has gone cold to begin June; he's just 5-for-35 with two extra-base hits (both doubles) in 11 games so far this month. Rotowire.com Today, 8:17 am
     
  • Getting break Sunday
    Herrera is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Even though he served as the Cardinals' designated hitter the last two days rather than catching, Herrera will take a seat for the series finale in Chicago. Masyn Winn will get a day off from playing shortstop and will serve as St. Louis' DH, while Pedro Pages picks up a fourth consecutive start behind the plate. Though Pages' playing time has been trending up of late, he's still holding down a lowly .443 OPS on the season and still looks to be behind Herrera on the depth chart while top backstop Willson Contreras (forearm) is on the shelf.

  • Homers, scores thrice in win
    Kelly went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Saturday's 13-5 win over the Astros.

    Advice: Kelly has logged three multi-hit efforts over six games in June, going 7-for-22 (.318) this month. The homer was his first since May 26. The veteran catcher is slashing .246/.326/.364 with three homers, 15 RBI, 12 runs scored, three doubles and a triple over 51 contests this season. Kelly and Jake Rogers continue to see a fairly even split of playing time behind the plate, though Kelly has had the stronger bat in 2024. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:26 pm
     
  • Call-up official
    The Pirates recalled Delay from Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday.

    Advice: Davis was removed from Friday's 5-2 win over the Rockies with concussion-like symptoms. Jason Delay was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis in a corresponding move and should be expected to serve as the primary understudy to Yasmani Grandal at catcher while both Davis and Joey Bart (thumb) are on the shelf.

  • Pirates recall Jason Delay from Triple-A Indy
    Pirates recalled C Jason Delay from Triple-A Indianapolis.

    Advice: With Henry Davis (concussion) landing on the injured list on Saturday, Delay will return to share the catching duties with Yasmani Grandal for the immediate future. The 29-year-old has hit just .194/.265/.258 with zero homers, five RBI and a 12/2 K/BB ratio in 10 games at Triple-A Indianapolis this season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:44 pm
     
  • Pirates place Henry Davis on 7-day concussion IL
    Pirates placed C/OF Henry Davis on the 7-day concussion injured list.

    Advice: The 24-year-old slugger suffered the injury during Friday night’s contest against the Rockies. Even after the mandatory seven days on the injured list, he’ll still need to pass through the concussion protocol before he’s able to return. Jason Delay was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis in a corresponding move on Saturday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:42 pm

  • Pedro Pagés starting at catcher again for Cards
    Pedro Pagés is at catcher and batting ninth on Saturday against the Cubs.

    Advice: Pagés has started five of the last six contests for the Cardinals since Iván Herrera made a costly throwing error last weekend against the Rockies that led to a couple runs crossing the plate. It’ll only be a few weeks until starter Willson Contreras is ready to return, but it’s certainly a developing situation to continue monitoring in deeper two-catcher formats.
