Fortes (neck) will start at catcher and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Mets.

Liam Hicks will head back to the bench while Fortes checks into the starting lineup after a stiff neck kept him out of the lineup for the Marlins' past three contests. Assuming the neck issue doesn't crop up again, Fortes should see the lion's share of the starts at catcher this season.

Torrens (forearm) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

He'll be on the bench for the third game in a row while he gets more time to recover from a right forearm contusion. Hayden Senger will get another turn behind the dish, but the Mets' willingness to use Torrens off the bench in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jays suggests that he'll be ready to return to the starting lineup soon.

Pages is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates.

Though he's the Cardinals' new No. 1 catcher after Ivan Herrera (knee) was placed on the injured list earlier Monday, Pages will get a breather for the series opener in Pittsburgh after he caught 17 innings during Sunday's doubleheader with the Red Sox. The newly promoted Yohel Pozo will draw the start behind the dish Monday in his Cardinals debut.

The Cardinals placed Herrera (knee) on the 10-day injured list Monday.

Herrera tweaked his left knee while running the bases in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Red Sox. He was diagnosed with inflammation after tests on his knee came back negative, but Herrera has since headed back to St. Louis to be evaluated further before the Cardinals determine how long he might be out. While Herrera is sidelined, Pedro Pages will serve as the Cardinals' primary catcher.

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.

Herrera (knee) is expected to be placed on the 10-day injured list ahead of Monday's game against the Pirates, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

After exiting the first game of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Red Sox due to left knee inflammation, Herrera was sent in for further testing. According to manager Oliver Marmol, those tests returned clean, but Herrera will still need time to heal from the knee injury and will go on the IL. Pedro Pages drew the start behind the plate in the nightcap of Sunday's twin bill and will likely get the lion's share of starts at catcher in Herrera's absence. Herrera had gotten off to a hot start to the season, slashing a blistering .381/.458/1.048 with four home runs, 11 RBI and six runs through 24 plate appearances.

Baldwin is expected to serve as Atlanta's backup catcher after Sean Murphy (ribs) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and Chadwick Tromp was designated for assignment Sunday.

Baldwin served as Atlanta's primary backstop for the first week-plus of the campaign but struggled in his first taste of the big leagues, going 4-for-26 with a double, an RBI and three walks in seven games. The 24-year-old prospect seemed likely to return to the minors with Murphy ready to come off the IL, but Baldwin will instead retain his place on the big-league roster. That may not be a long-term move though, since Atlanta is likely to want Baldwin to get consistent reps behind the plate, and that's not expected to happen with Murphy poised to be a regular presence in the lineup.

Atlanta designated Tromp for assignment Sunday.

With Sean Murphy (rib) completing his rehab assignment and ready to return from the 10-day injured list in advance of the big club's next game Tuesday versus Philadelphia, Atlanta elected to activate him a couple days early. Tromp ended up being the casualty, as he'll surrendered his spot on the 26-man active roster to Tromp while also losing his spot on the 40-man roster since he doesn't have minor-league options remaining. Atlanta is hopeful Tromp will go unclaimed off waivers and stick around in the organization as catching depth at Triple-A Gwinnett. Tromp appeared in just two of Atlanta's first nine games while Drake Baldwin dominated the playing time behind the plate.

Herrera was diagnosed with left knee inflammation after exiting in the third inning of the first game of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Red Sox, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Herrera went 0-for-1 with a walk before leaving the contest after he appeared to injure his knee while running the bases. Pedro Pages came off the bench to replace Herrera in the bottom of the third inning and will finish out the game behind the plate while also drawing the start at catcher in the nightcap. The Cardinals seem to be viewing Herrera as day-to-day, though he could be at risk of landing on the IL if he's not able to return to the lineup within the next few games.

Herrera was removed from Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Red Sox due to an apparent leg injury, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Herrera worked a walk during the bottom of the third inning but suffered an injury while running the bases and required assistance to leave the field. The 24-year-old was already likely to sit for Game 2 after starting the matinee, but his availability beyond Sunday is now in question. Pedro Pages stepped in behind the plate and would operate as St. Louis' primary catcher should Herrera be forced to miss time.
