Could be odd man out at catcher Pages could be the odd man out at catcher for the Cardinals next season, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Pages has led the team in starts behind the plate each of the last two seasons. However, the Cardinals plan to use a combination of Ivan Herrera and Jimmy Crooks at catcher next season, leaving Pages without a clear path to playing time. The 27-year-old has minor-league options remaining, but catching prospect Leonardo Bernal is expected to serve as the primary catcher at Triple-A Memphis in 2026. As a result, Pages could be a trade candidate this offseason.

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

Impact Pages will get a breather for the series finale after he had started behind the dish in three of the Cardinals' previous four contests.
