Pina (toe) is expected to return from the injured list when first eligible Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Injuries to Pina and Omar Narvaez (hamstring) and the loss of Jacob Nottingham to the Mariners on waivers have meant the Brewers are already digging deep on their depth chart to find catchers. Luke Maile, who owns a career wRC+ of 48, and Mario Feliciano, who's played just three games above High-A, will hold down the fort for now, but Pina should return before the end of next week.

Pina landed on the injured list Tuesday with a fractured left big toe.

EDGE Analysis

Pina will be out until at least May 7, though it remains unclear whether he'll be able to return when first eligible. Luke Maile was recalled in a corresponding move and will back up Omar Narvaez behind the plate.

Pina delivered a pinch-hit two-run home run in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

His seventh-inning blast proved to be the game-winning hit. Pina only has four hits through 21 at-bats to begin the season, but three of them have gone for extra bases (two homers and a double). With Omar Narvaez off to a great start at the plate, however, it will be tough for Pina to carve out regular playing time in Milwaukee despite the flashes of power he's shown.

Pina went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer, a double and a walk in Sunday's 9-3 win over St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

Pina was hitless in six at-bats entering Sunday's contest but broke out in a big way. With a 7-3 lead in the ninth, the 33-year-old catcher clocked a two-run shot to put the game on ice. He'll continue seeing limited playing time behind Omar Narvaez.

Pina (shoulder) is starting behind the plate and batting fifth in Friday's spring game against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old left Monday's contest with shoulder discomfort, but it was only a precautionary exit. Pina and Jacob Nottingham (thumb) are competing for the No. 2 job at catcher behind expected starter Omar Narvaez.

According to manager Craig Counsell, Pina (shoulder) is OK after exiting Monday's spring game against the Padres, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pina was pulled from the exhibition due to discomfort in his left shoulder, but his removal was merely precautionary. Per Haudricourt, Pina was already attempting to convince his skipper to play in Tuesday's matchup. It wouldn't be a surprise to see the Brewers give him a few days off following Monday's scare.

Pina left Monday's game against the Padres with left shoulder discomfort, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

He was involved in a collision at the plate with Tommy Pham and eventually exited the game as a result. Pina underwent knee surgery last summer, so it's good to hear that it ended up being an upper-body injury. The team says his exit was a precaution, so he should be considered day-to-day.

Pina was involved in a collision at the plate and left Monday's game against the Padres after the first inning, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

He stayed in the game initially, but was replaced by Payton Henry in the second inning. This is particularly concerning, as Pina had knee surgery last summer, and appeared to be pretty shaken up after the collision with Tommy Pham. He should be considered day-to-day for now.

Pina (knee) will start at catcher and will bat cleanup Monday in the Brewers' Cactus League game against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Pina entered spring training at full health after requiring surgery Aug. 31 to address a torn meniscus in his right knee. The Brewers opted to tender him during the offseason, with Pina ultimately agreeing to a one-year, $1.65 million deal to avoid arbitration. Assuming his surgically-repaired knee holds up well this spring, Pina should open the 2021 campaign as the Brewers' No. 2 catcher behind Omar Narvaez.

Pina (knee) agreed to a one-year, $1.65 million deal with the Brewers on Wednesday, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

He underwent surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee in September, so it is unclear if he will be fully healthy in time for spring training. The Brewers also brought back Omar Narvaez and still have Jacob Nottingham in the mix, so the catching depth chart will be pretty crowded, as things currently stand.
