Pina went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Thursday's loss to the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Pina's pleasantly surprising season at the plate continues, as Thursday's showing raised his batting average to .299 and his OPS to .799. With Stephen Vogt (knee) sidelined until mid-to-late August, Pina seems to be in line for primary catching duties, a role he likely won't relinquish to Jett Bandy if he continues to hit like this on a regular basis.

Pina is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Saturday's absence marks Pina's third in the Brewers' last four games, which suggests that the 30-year-old has indeed fallen behind Stephen Vogt on the depth chart. Pina continues to hit at a strong clip, but with reduced playing time, the counting stats will suffer.

Pina is out of the lineup Saturday against the Marlins, and appears to be losing his hold on the starting catcher job.
EDGE Analysis
Stephen Vogt, who has started three of the last four games, appears to have quickly wrestled away the primary catcher role since joining the Brewers less than a week ago. Look for Pina to primarily start against left-handed pitchers going forward.

Pina is not in the lineup Wednesday, MLB.com's Mark Sheldon reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stephen Vogt will make his first start in a Milwaukee uniform during Wednesday's game while Pina gets the day off. The 30-year-old catcher has hit extremely well this season, including a nice 2-for-3 day with one home run and one RBI on Tuesday.

Pina is not in the lineup for Thursday's series finale against Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
After starting the past four games behind the plate, Pina is taking a seat on the bench in favor of Jett Bandy on Thursday. Pina has gone just 1-for-12 at the plate against the Pirates this series, but will likely be back in the lineup for Friday's game against the Braves.

Pina finished 2-for-3 with a solo home run against the Padres on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Pina's second home run, a 433-foot shot to center, in as many starts for the catcher gave the Brewers a 2-1 lead, which would hold as the final score. The 30-year-old rookie has been a pleasant surprise this season offensively, as he is now slashing .312/.351/.493 in 149 plate appearances this season.

Pina is not in the lineup Saturday against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
After catching Friday's night game, Pina will get a chance to rest on the bench with a day game on tap for Saturday. Jett Bandy will log a start behind the dish in his stead.

Pina went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 6-5 win over the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
The homer was his third of the year, and the catcher is now hitting .314 (11-for-35) in June. Pina continues to be in a time share with Jett Bandy, but with the latter stuck in a 4-for-45 slump Pina could begin to see more action going forward.
