Checking back into lineup Pages (hamstring) will start at catcher and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Pirates.

Pages will step back in behind the dish Monday in Pittsburgh, and while he may continue to operate as St. Louis' main catcher, he'll likely continue to cede at least a couple starts per week to Ivan Herrera.
