Willson Contreras Will Transition To 1B/DH Role In 2025

St. Louis Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak stated Wednesday that catcher Willson Contreras will be transitioned to a first base/designated hitter role in 2025. The hope is that the move will keep the 32-year-old healthy and allow him to extend the life of his career. The veteran backstop had a solid season for the time he was on the field in 2024, posting a .262-15-36-48-4 line with a .370 wOBA and 140 wRC+, but played in just 84 games due to varying injuries. He's expected to be ready to go for 2025, and the added positional flexibility should give him some additional value in fantasy leagues.

Willson Contreras Ruled Out For The Season

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Willson Contreras (finger) will need two more weeks of rest before beginning baseball activities. That being said, the right-handed slugger won't be returning to the Cards lineup before the end of the regular season. It has been an injury riddled year for Contreras who only managed to play in 84 games. Luckily, the veteran catcher should be healed up and ready to go in time for spring training. Contreras finishes the season with a .263 batting average with 15 home runs and 36 RBI. The assumption is that Pedro Pages and Ivan Herrera will split up the catching duties for the rest of the season. Herrera is the better fantasy option between the two with a .280 batting average and 22 RBI in 65 games this season.

Willson Contreras To Be Re-Evaluated On Monday

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Willson Contreras (finger), who is currently sidelined with a broken left middle finger, will be re-evaluated on Monday, and the Cardinals will then plan his path to a return, according to manager Oliver Marmol. Contreras didn't need surgery on his finger and has been out of a splint for the past week and is eager to return before the end of the 2024 season. The 32-year-old veteran backstop has been out since Aug. 24, and if he does manage to make it back before the end of September, it might only be for a handful of games, so fantasy managers shouldn't be counting on him at all the rest of the way. In the meantime, rookie Pedro Pages and Ivan Herrera will continue to split playing time behind the plate. Contreras was well on his way to a fourth straight 20-plus-homer season in 2024 before suffering the second serious injury of the campaign.

Willson Contreras Doesn't Need Surgery

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Willson Contreras (finger) will not need surgery on his broken finger, according to manager Oliver Marmol. However, Contreras will be no impact for three weeks. The Cardinals have five weeks left in the regular season. The door is open for a return, but Contreras has no room for a setback along the way. The 32-year-old veteran backstop suffered a fractured right middle finger over the weekend when he was hit by a pitch and has already been placed on the injured list. Even if he does make it back at the tail end of the season, he's not going to have much time left to provide meaningful numbers for fantasy managers. Pedro Pages will now operate as St. Louis' primary catcher, with Ivan Herrera backing him up. It's a huge loss for the Cardinals as they battle for the final wild-card spot in the National League.

Willson Contreras To Go On Injured List With Fractured Finger

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Willson Contreras (finger) took a fastball off the right hand in the fourth inning of Saturday's 6-0 loss to the Twins, and after initially staying in the game to run the bases, has now been diagnosed with a fractured right middle finger. The Cardinals are expected to call up Ivan Herrera to replace him and split time with backup catcher Pedro Pages. Herrera filled in for Contreras earlier this season during Contreras' first IL stint, slashing .279/.340/.378 with three home runs, a .317 wOBA, and 105 wRC+ over 54 games. No timetable has been given for how long Contreras will be out, but it'd be hard to imagine he'll be back before the regular season ends.

Willson Contreras Homers Twice On Friday

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Willson Contreras had a huge night in his team's 8-5 win over the Kansas City Royals on Friday. Contreras went 3-for-4 with a double, two homers, a walk, and four RBI to power the Cardinals to victory. The veteran catcher kicked off the scoring with a two-run homer in the first inning and came back with another two-run shot in the ninth. After the big game, Contreras is now hitting .261 with 15 homers, 44 runs, 34 RBI, and three steals across 257 at-bats in 2024.

Willson Contreras Smacks Game-Tying Solo Home Run Friday

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Willson Contreras finished 2-for-5 with a game-tying solo home run Friday night and picked up an RBI single in a 7-6 extra-inning victory over the Washington Nationals. Contreras had a rough first week coming off the injured list with a 4-for-24 stretch and a .174 batting average, with all four hits only being singles while pitching in only one RBI. July has been a different story so far. Contreras in July has gone 5-for-17 (.294) in four games with two home runs and five RBI. Despite being injured for almost two months of the season, Contreras has remained a top-12 catcher after being ranked eighth at the position to start the season. He should be rostered in most fantasy leagues.

Willson Contreras Activated And Starting On Monday

The St. Louis Cardinals officially activated catcher Willson Contreras (forearm) from the 10-day injured list on Monday and optioned catcher Nick Raposo to Triple-A Memphis in a corresponding move. The team also activated right-hander Nick Robertson (elbow) from the 15-day IL and optioned him to Memphis. Contreras will draw right back into the starting lineup at catcher and will bat third on Monday against the visiting Atlanta Braves and rookie right-hander Spencer Schwellenbach. The 32-year-old has made it back well before his projected timetable after fracturing his left forearm in early May, which has to make the Cardinals and fantasy managers ecstatic. Contreras will return to starting catching duties in St. Louis, but he may be eased back in with rookie Pedro Pages serving as his backup since Ivan Herrera (back) is on the IL.

Willson Contreras Expected To Return On Monday

All signs are pointing to St. Louis Cardinals catcher Willson Contreras (forearm) being activated from the injured list and returning to the starting lineup ahead of Monday's series opener against the visiting Atlanta Braves. Contreras fractured his forearm on May 7 and was originally slated to return by the All-Star break. Instead, he could rejoin the team weeks ahead of his projected timetable. He went 1-for-5 in his sixth minor-league rehab game for Triple-A Memphis, and his true testing point was catching back-to-back games, which he did on Friday and Saturday. He came out of those games fine and escaped a scar on Saturday when he was involved in a collision at home plate. With Ivan Herrera (back) also on the IL, rookie Pedro Pages is likely to stick around as Contreras' backup moving forward.

Willson Contreras Resumes Swinging Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Willson Contreras (forearm) has progressed to hitting soft toss, and he caught a bullpen ahead of Tuesday's series opener against the division-rival Pittsburgh Pirates. It's been a remarkable turnaround for Contreras, who is making swift progress in his recovery from a fractured left forearm. He has a chance to return to the Cardinals before the end of June with the strides he's made, so fantasy managers should be stashing him in all leagues at this juncture. Before going down, the 32-year-old star backstop was St. Louis' most effective hitter with a hearty .280/.398/.551 triple-slash line, six home runs, 11 doubles, and 12 RBI over 128 plate appearances. Ivan Herrera and Pedro Pages are sharing work behind the dish at the moment, but neither have done enough overall to warrant much fantasy attention this year.
