Scouting Report: Pedro Pages
Overall
Summary
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).
