Since Pina is not currently with the team in St. Louis, the Milwaukee Brewers are without a backup catcher currently. That means Erik Kratz will handle the catching duties and he hopefully will not get hurt during a game.
Unless the Brewers decide to put Manny Pina on the disabled list prior to Friday’s game against the Cardinals, they will be stuck with Hernan Perez as their emergency catcher. That’s not exactly an ideal scenario.
The Brewers will need someone to be the backup catcher if Pina has to miss any time.
