Player Outlook
Yohel Pozo made the most of limited playing time in the first half last season with the Cardinals, slashing .312/.330/.505 with four home runs over 38 contests. Things didn't go nearly as well after the All-Star break, however, as he went only 8-for-67 at the dish and missed time with a concussion. The Cardinals non-tendered Pozo over the offseason but then brought him back on a split contract even though they already have an abundance of catching depth, suggesting they value the 28-year-old. Pozo sports a career .321/.343/.545 batting line and 10.7 percent strikeout rate in 329 games at the Triple-A level, so he's got some ability with the bat. His best chance at playing time in 2026 would be for the Cardinals to give up on Ivan Herrera playing catcher and send Jimmy Crooks to Triple-A Memphis, but even then Pozo would be behind Pedro Pages in the pecking order.

  • Cardinals' Yohel Pozo: Gets start at first base

    Rotowire
    Pozo drew a start at first base in Tuesday's game against the Nationals, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. Pozo got one start at first base for the Cardinals last season and has played there a decent amount in the minors. Proving he could be a backup to Alec Burleson at the position would give him a better chance to make the Opening Day roster, as the Cardinals have a crowded depth chart at catcher.

  • Cardinals' Yohel Pozo: Down 33 pounds from last season

    Rotowire
    Pozo has lost 33 pounds since the end of last season, he shared on his X account. The slimmed-down Pozo was non-tendered by the Cardinals in November before quickly re-signing on a split contract. He's part of a crowded mix at catcher for St. Louis, with Ivan Herrera (elbow), Pedro Pages and perhaps Jimmy Crooks ahead of him on the depth chart. Pozo -- who slashed .231/.262/.375 with five home runs in 67 games in 2025 -- is likely to begin the season at Triple-A Memphis.

  • Cardinals' Yohel Pozo: Re-signs with St. Louis

    Rotowire
    The Cardinals re-signed Pozo to a one-year contract Monday. Pozo was non-tendered by St. Louis last week but is now back in the organization just a few days later on a split contract. The Cardinals already have Ivan Herrera, Jimmy Crooks and Pedro Pages competing for reps at catcher on the major-league roster, but Pozo will also factor into the mix. He slashed .231/.262/.375 with five home runs in 67 games for the Cardinals in 2025.

  • Yohel Pozo: Non-tendered by St. Louis

    Rotowire
    The Cardinals non-tendered Pozo on Friday. Pozo signed a minor-league contract with the Cardinals in January and was a permanent member of the big club's roster in early April after being called up from Triple-A Memphis. He spent most of the 2025 season as the backup catcher behind Ivan Herrera (elbow) and Pedro Pages, and across 67 regular-season games, Pozo posted a .637 OPS with 16 runs scored, five home runs and 19 RBI in 168 plate appearances. Now that he's a free agent, Pozo should receive interest from teams looking to add depth at catcher.

  • Cardinals' Yohel Pozo: Reinstated from concussion IL

    Rotowire
    The Cardinals activated Pozo (concussion) from the 7-day injured list Friday. Pozo missed the past week of action after experiencing concussion symptoms following a foul tip to his catcher's mask. He's bypassing a rehab assignment and going directly back onto the active roster. Pozo has some limited experience at first base and could see playing time there while Willson Contreras serves a four-game suspension.

  • Cardinals' Yohel Pozo: Placed on concussion injured list

    Rotowire
    The Cardinals placed Pozo on the 7-day concussion injured list Friday. Pozo was able to remain in the game after being shaken up by a foul tip to the mask Thursday against the Pirates, but concussion symptoms eventually surfaced and he'll have to miss some time. The Cardinals will go with Jimmy Crooks and Pedro Pages at catcher while Pozo is sidelined.

  • Cardinals' Yohel Pozo: Heading to concussion IL

    Rotowire
    The Cardinals will place Pozo on the 7-day concussion injured list prior to Friday's contest in Cincinnati, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports. Pozo was examined by the trainer after taking a foul tip off his mask Thursday. and while he stayed in and finished the game, he subsequently displayed symptoms of a concussion. Jimmy Crooks is being called up from Triple-A Memphis to take Pozo's spot on the active roster and split catching duties with Pedro Pages.

  • Cardinals' Yohel Pozo: Being evaluated for concussion

    Rotowire
    Pozo will be evaluated for a possible concussion Friday after taking a foul tip off the mask during Thursday's win over the Pirates, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. Pozo was checked out by the Cardinals' training staff Thursday and stayed in to finish the contest, but that doesn't preclude concussion symptoms from surfacing later. Catcher Jimmy Crooks is expected to be promoted from Triple-A Memphis, which could point to Pozo being placed on the 7-day concussion injured list.

  • Cardinals' Yohel Pozo: Exiting lineup for series finale

    Rotowire
    Pozo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs. After catching all nine innings of Saturday's 9-1 loss, Pozo will take a seat for the series finale. Pedro Pages will get the nod behind the dish Sunday.

  • Cardinals' Yohel Pozo: Out of lineup Monday

    Rotowire
    Pozo is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Dodgers. Pozo has seen an uptick in playing time lately, having started three of the previous four games at catcher. However, he will begin Monday's festivities on the bench, as Pedro Pages will be behind the dish and bat eighth for the Cardinals.

  • Cardinals' Yohel Pozo: Taking hold of top catcher job

    Rotowire
    Pozo will start at catcher and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Padres. Pozo appears to have moved ahead of the slumping Pedro Pages on the depth chart at catcher -- he'll be making his fourth start behind the dish in six games Sunday. Though Pages is regarded as the superior defender, the upgrade Pozo provides with the bat appears to be too much for manager Oliver Marmol to ignore. Pozo heads into Sunday's contest with a .746 OPS over 121 plate appearances, compared to Pages' .566 OPS across 278 plate appearances.

  • Cardinals' Yohel Pozo: Swats homer in loss

    Rotowire
    Pozo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a double in a loss to Atlanta on Saturday. Pozo accounted for two of St. Louis' three extra-base hits, hitting a double in the second inning and a solo homer in the sixth. He logged his first multi-hit effort since May 18, though that's largely because most of his opportunities since then have come as a pinch hitter or defensive replacement. Pozo has made the most of his opportunities throughout the campaign, slashing .312/.330/.605 with four home runs, 14 RBI and 11 runs scored over 97 plate appearances.

  • Cardinals' Yohel Pozo: Provides walk-off hit

    Rotowire
    Pozo went 1-for-1 with with a walk-off single in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Reds in 11 innings. Pozo entered as a defensive replacement in the top of the 11th and came through with a walk-off bloop single to right field in the bottom half of the frame. The catcher, who is back in the majors for the first time since 2021, has served primarily in a backup role for the Cardinals but has made the most of his opportunities, slashing .308/.313/.446 with five extra-base hits and eight RBI over 25 games.

  • Cardinals' Yohel Pozo: X-rays negative on wrist

    Rotowire
    Pozo said X-rays on his left wrist were negative Thursday, John Denton of MLB.com reports. There was fear for the health of Pozo's wrist after he collided with Cincinnati's TJ Friedl at home plate during Thursday's game in Cincinnati, but the catcher appears to have avoided a serious injury. Pozo completed the game, going 1-for-3, and he finished 3-for-9 during the four-game series in Cincinnati.

  • Cardinals' Yohel Pozo: Officially added to roster

    Rotowire
    The Cardinals selected Pozo's contract from Triple-A Memphis on Monday. Pozo will serve as the team's backup catcher behind Pedro Pages for at least the next 10 days while Ivan Herrera (knee) is on the injured list. The 27-year-old Pozo was off to a hot start at Memphis with two home runs and three doubles over his first 21 plate appearances.

  • Cardinals' Yohel Pozo: Set to be called up Monday

    Rotowire
    The Cardinals are expected to call up Pozo from Triple-A Memphis on Monday, John Denton of MLB.com reports. Pozo will join the major-league roster ahead of the team's three-game series in Pittsburgh. With Ivan Herrera (knee) set to be placed on the 10-day injured list, Pozo will operate as the Cardinals' backup catcher behind Pedro Pages. Pozo -- whose lone big-league action came in 2021 with the Rangers -- has produced five extra-base hits (two home runs, three doubles) over 21 plate appearances with Memphis this season.

  • Cardinals' Yohel Pozo: Sent to minor-league camp

    Rotowire
    The Cardinals reassigned Pozo to minor-league camp Monday. Pozo received a late invitation to big-league camp but never made much of a push for a spot on the Opening Day roster with the Cardinals likely to begin the season with Pedro Pages and Ivan Herrera as their catching tandem. The 27-year-old Pozo hasn't seen MLB action since 2021 with the Rangers and will likely spend the majority of the 2025 campaign at Triple-A Memphis.

  • Cardinals' Yohel Pozo: MiLB deal with St. Louis

    Rotowire
    The Cardinals signed Pozo to a minor-league contract Tuesday. Pozo, 27, boasts a .321/.343/.542 batting line over the last four seasons at the Triple-A level but has received just 77 plate appearances in the majors, and those came back in 2021 with the Rangers. He'll give the Cardinals some catching depth at Triple-A Memphis.

  • Braves' Yohel Pozo: Links up with Atlanta

    Rotowire
    Atlanta signed Pozo to a minor-league contract Wednesday. Pozo's lone action in the big leagues came in 2021, but he's been raking at the Triple-A level since then, most recently slashing .324/.335/.538 with 15 home runs over 90 games with Las Vegas in the Athletics organization. Atlanta has an opening at backup catcher following the departure of Travis d'Arnaud, although Chadwick Tromp has a leg up for that job.

  • Athletics' Yohel Pozo: Re-signs with A's

    Rotowire
    Pozo signed a minor-league contract with the Athletics on Saturday, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports. Pozo spent all of last season with Triple-A Las Vegas and put together a solid campaign, slashing .306/.338/.523 with 18 homers and 81 RBI. The 26-year-old backstop isn't listed on Oakland's 40-man roster, but Pozo could work his way back into the majors if he keeps hitting and Shea Langeliers and Tyler Soderstrom continue to struggle in the bigs.
