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 isn't in the Cardinals' lineup for Saturday's game against Cleveland. Pages will get a chance to regroup Saturday after going 0-for-9 with five strikeouts across his last three games. Ivan Herrera will catch for Miles Mikolas and bat fifth.

Pages is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates. Pages will get a breather after he started at catcher in both of the Cardinals' previous two contests. Ivan Herrera will check in behind the dish and form a battery with starting pitcher Sonny Gray.

Pages went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Mariners. Pages came through in the eighth inning, launching a Logan Gilbert slider over the left-field fence for the only scoring play of the game. Pages has gone 4-for-14 (.286) over four games in September, but three of those hits have been homers. The catcher is up to six long balls, 22 RBI, 17 runs scored, one stolen base and a .245/.287/.396 slash line through 172 plate appearances this season.

Pages went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs during Monday's 9-3 loss to the Cardinals. Pages was the only Cardinal to have success against Brewers starter Freddy Peralta, tagging Peralta for solo homers in the third and fifth innings. It was the 25-year-old catcher's first career multi-homer game, bringing his season total to five long balls. Pages is slashing .248/.292/.389 in 162 plate appearances and should continue to split playing time with Ivan Herrera in the absence of Willson Contreras (finger).
