Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Pedro Pages, St. Louis Cardinals catcher, has been benched multiple times in May 2026 due to a severe hitting slump. Over a six-game stretch, he went 0-for-19 with six strikeouts. He was held out of the lineup on May 5 (0-for-3 with a walk), May 8 (0-for-14 with five strikeouts over four games), and May 12 (0-for-19 with six strikeouts over six games). Despite the offensive struggles, Pages has shown strong defensive value with 9 caught stealings on the season (32.1% success rate, well above MLB average of 29%), including a key throw in a 2-1 victory over San Diego. The frequent lineup absences suggest the Cardinals are managing his playing time during this extended slump.
