Pina (shoulder) isn't in Saturday's starting lineup against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Pina had hoped to return to the starting nine for Saturday's contest, but he'll be forced to miss at least one more game with a sore shoulder. Erik Kratz will handle the catching duties and bat seventh with Pina on the bench. Depending on how his shoulder feels, Pina figures to have a chance to play in the series finale.

Pina (shoulder) received a good result from Friday's MRI and could return to the lineup Saturday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pina was withheld from Friday's starting nine after suffering a shoulder injury during a collision at the plate with Javier Baez in Wednesday's game against the Cubs. Pina was able to take some swings during batting practice Friday, though he did claim that he felt sore following the session. Consider him day-to-day while Erik Kratz handles the catching duties.

Pina (shoulder) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Pina left Wednesday's game after a collision at the plate. Thursday's off day was evidently not enough time for him to recover, as he'll miss at least one start. He's reportedly had his shoulder evaluated but the results of that evaluation have not yet been made public. Eric Kratz will get the start Friday.

Pina is headed back to Milwaukee to have his injured shoulder evaluated, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pina suffered the injury after colliding with Javy Baez at second base during Wednesday's game against the Cubs. Specifics regarding the injury, as well as a possible timetable for his return, should emerge after Pina is further evaluated in the coming days. If Pina is forced to hit the disabled list, Jacob Nottingham would likely join the big-league club and split catching duties with Erik Kratz.
