Pozo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Playing in his first game at the major-league level since 2021, Pozo lined one over the left-field wall off of Carmen Mlodzinski in the sixth inning for his second career home run. The 27-year-old boasts a career .321/.343/.545 batting line at the Triple-A level, but it's unlikely he will see enough playing time to make a fantasy impact over the next few weeks while Ivan Herrera (knee) is shelved.

The Cardinals selected Pozo's contract from Triple-A Memphis on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Pozo will serve as the team's backup catcher behind Pedro Pages for at least the next 10 days while Ivan Herrera (knee) is on the injured list. The 27-year-old Pozo was off to a hot start at Memphis with two home runs and three doubles over his first 21 plate appearances.

Pozo is set to be called up from Triple-A Memphis on Monday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pozo will join the major-league roster ahead of the team's three-game series in Pittsburgh beginning Monday. With Ivan Herrera (knee) set to be placed on the 10-day injured list, Pozo will operate as the Cardinals' backup catcher behind Pedro Pages for the time being.

The Cardinals reassigned Pozo to minor-league camp Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Pozo received a late invitation to big-league camp but never made much of a push for a spot on the Opening Day roster with the Cardinals likely to begin the season with Pedro Pages and Ivan Herrera as their catching tandem. The 27-year-old Pozo hasn't seen MLB action since 2021 with the Rangers and will likely spend the majority of the 2025 campaign at Triple-A Memphis.

The Cardinals signed Pozo to a minor-league contract Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Pozo, 27, boasts a .321/.343/.542 batting line over the last four seasons at the Triple-A level but has received just 77 plate appearances in the majors, and those came back in 2021 with the Rangers. He'll give the Cardinals some catching depth at Triple-A Memphis.

Atlanta signed Pozo to a minor-league contract Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Pozo's lone action in the big leagues came in 2021, but he's been raking at the Triple-A level since then, most recently slashing .324/.335/.538 with 15 home runs over 90 games with Las Vegas in the Athletics organization. Atlanta has an opening at backup catcher following the departure of Travis d'Arnaud, although Chadwick Tromp has a leg up for that job.

Pozo signed a minor-league contract with the Athletics on Saturday, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pozo spent all of last season with Triple-A Las Vegas and put together a solid campaign, slashing .306/.338/.523 with 18 homers and 81 RBI. The 26-year-old backstop isn't listed on Oakland's 40-man roster, but Pozo could work his way back into the majors if he keeps hitting and Shea Langeliers and Tyler Soderstrom continue to struggle in the bigs.

Pozo, who went 5-for-6 with four RBI and two runs in Triple-A Las Vegas' win over Salt Lake on Tuesday, owns a .316 average and .859 OPS across 180 plate appearances over 42 games with the Aviators.
EDGE Analysis
Pozo has had the good fortune of playing in the hitter-friendly environment of the Pacific Coast League for three seasons now, dating back to his time at Round Rock when he was with the Rangers organization. In fairness, the 26-year-old backstop has been impressive at the plate in most of his minor-league stops -- as well as in a 77-plate-appearance big-league stint back in 2021 -- during a professional career that dates back to 2016. However, with Shea Langeliers and Tyler Soderstrom at the big-league level, Pozo remains on the farm despite the current IL stints of veteran backups Manny Pina (wrist) and Carlos Perez (thumb).

The Athletics reassigned Pozo to minor-league camp Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Pozo joined the Athletics on a minor-league deal in December after he had spent the first 10 seasons of his professional career in the Rangers organization. The 25-year-old backstop appeared in 21 games at the big-league level in 2021 but played exclusively at Triple-A Round Rock in 2022, slashing .320/.352/.474 across 267 plate appearances. Pozo is expected to serve as organizational catching depth for the Athletics at Triple-A Las Vegas during the upcoming campaign.

Pozo signed with Oakland as a non-roster invitee Tuesday, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pozo hit .284/.312/.378 as a rookie in 2021 but did not return to the majors in 2022. Pozo's profile is in some ways a less extreme version of fellow Venezuelan backstop Willians Astudillo, as he's difficult to strike out but doesn't do all that much else either at or behind the plate. He rode a 12.0 percent strikeout rate to a .320/.352/.474 slash line across 65 games for Triple-A Round Rock last season, though the inflated offensive environment meant that was only good enough for a 104 wRC+.
