St. Louis Cardinals catcher Pedro Pagés is used to being behind the plate. Of his 77 MLB appearances heading into Friday night's game against the Philadelphia Phillies, all but one have been at catcher. The sole outlier was an appearance last year at first base.
Pagés was unexpectedly moved from catcher to second base Friday due to an injury to Cardinals shortstop Masyn Winn. Once Winn was removed, St. Louis moved second baseman Thomas Saggese over to short and Pagés to second base to avoid losing their designated hitter for the rest of the game.
