Pina will catch and bat seventh Tuesday against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Skipper Craig Counsell has decided to insert both of his catchers into the starting lineup for the second matchup of the mid-week series, giving Yasmani Grandal the nod at first base. Pina is hitting .222 with an RBI and three walks over 10 games this season.

Pina will start behind the plate and bat sixth against the Cubs on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Pina enters the starting nine for the third time this season as Yasmani Grandal takes a seat for the day game. Pina is 1-for-6 with one run, one RBI and two walks in eight plate appearances this season.

Pina is in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Pina will start for the second time this season with regular catcher Yasmani Grandal getting some rest with the Brewers playing a day game following a night game. Pina will catch Freddy Peralta and hit seventh in the Brewers' batting order.

Pina (knee) is back in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Pina had been held out for a few days with a minor knee issue. He appeared off the bench Tuesday against Texas and will start the game Wednesday, catching and batting cleanup.

Pina (knee) has been cleared to return to Cactus League action, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pina is good to go after being withheld from Cactus League play for a few days due to a tweaked knee. The backstop isn't in the lineup Sunday against the Dodgers, though he should be available off the bench if needed.

Pina went 1-for-3 with an inside-the-park home run in Thursday's spring game.

EDGE Analysis

A long fly ball off Pina's bat turned into the home run when the White Sox's Nicky Delmonico crashed into the wall trying to track it down and could not get up to make a play on the ball. While the ball did not leave the park, it was Pina's second home run and fourth extra-base hit of the spring. Pina is expected to the Brewers' backup catcher behind Yasmani Grandal, but he is facing at least some competition for the job from fellow catcher Erik Kratz.

Pina agreed to a one-year, $1.6 million deal with the Brewers, avoiding arbitration, Robert Murray of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

This was Pina's first arbitration-eligible offseason, so he will be making seven figures for the first time in his career. Perhaps more noteworthy, however, is the fact the Brewers signed Yasmani Grandal earlier in the week. This pushes Pina to a clear backup role for 2019, limiting his fantasy relevance to NL-only leagues and deep two-catcher mixers.

Pina is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Pina will sit for the second straight game as Erik Kratz grabs another start behind the plate. The two catchers continue to split time, with Kratz holding the edge with 14 starts compared to Pina's 10 in September.

Pina is out of the lineup against St. Louis on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Pina will head to the bench for a standard day off after going 2-for-5 with one RBI and one run scored during Tuesday's victory. Erik Kratz will catch Jhoulys Chacin and bat seventh in the series finale.

Pina went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's victory over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Pina has ceded a lot of starts to Erik Kratz in September, and his four at-bats Wednesday raise his total to just 26 this month. The two have worked in a pattern since Sept. 1 with Pina starting two games and Kratz starting the next three, so with Pina starting the last two games, there's a good chance Kratz will be behind the dish when the Brewers next play Friday night.
