Pena will start at catcher Sunday afternoon against the Cardinals. Pena will make his first start of 2015, as Devin Mesoraco had handled catching duties for the Reds' first five games. He was a big part of an injury-laden Cincinnati lineup in 2014, slashing .253/.291/.353 with five homers in 372 plate appearances. With Joey Votto back at first base, Pena expects to see a significantly decreased workload, so he'll have to make the most of his opportunities.
