Gets start at first base Pozo drew a start at first base in Tuesday's game against the Nationals, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Pozo got one start at first base for the Cardinals last season and has played there a decent amount in the minors. Proving he could be a backup to Alec Burleson at the position would give him a better chance to make the Opening Day roster, as the Cardinals have a crowded depth chart at catcher.

Down 33 pounds from last season Pozo has lost 33 pounds since the end of last season, he shared on his X account.

Impact The slimmed-down Pozo was non-tendered by the Cardinals in November before quickly re-signing on a split contract. He's part of a crowded mix at catcher for St. Louis, with Ivan Herrera (elbow), Pedro Pages and perhaps Jimmy Crooks ahead of him on the depth chart. Pozo -- who slashed .231/.262/.375 with five home runs in 67 games in 2025 -- is likely to begin the season at Triple-A Memphis.

Re-signs with St. Louis The Cardinals re-signed Pozo to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Pozo was non-tendered by St. Louis last week, but he's now back in the organization on a minor-league pact. The Cardinals already have Ivan Herrera, Jimmy Crooks and Pedro Pages competing for reps at catcher on the major-league roster, so Pozo appears destined for Triple-A Memphis to begin the 2026 season. He slashed .231/.262/.375 with five home runs in 67 games for the Cardinals in 2025.

Non-tendered by St. Louis The Cardinals non-tendered Pozo on Friday.

Impact Pozo signed a minor-league contract with the Cardinals in January and was a permanent member of the big club's roster in early April after being called up from Triple-A Memphis. He spent most of the 2025 season as the backup catcher behind Ivan Herrera (elbow) and Pedro Pages, and across 67 regular-season games, Pozo posted a .637 OPS with 16 runs scored, five home runs and 19 RBI in 168 plate appearances. Now that he's a free agent, Pozo should receive interest from teams looking to add depth at catcher.

Reinstated from concussion IL The Cardinals activated Pozo (concussion) from the 7-day injured list Friday.

Impact Pozo missed the past week of action after experiencing concussion symptoms following a foul tip to his catcher's mask. He's bypassing a rehab assignment and going directly back onto the active roster. Pozo has some limited experience at first base and could see playing time there while Willson Contreras serves a four-game suspension.

Heading to concussion IL The Cardinals will place Pozo on the 7-day concussion injured list prior to Friday's contest in Cincinnati, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Pozo had to be examined by the trainer after taking a foul tip off his mask during Thursday's victory over the Pirates. He stayed in and finished that game, but the catcher subsequently displayed symptoms of a concussion. Jimmy Crooks is being called up from Triple-A Memphis to take Pozo's spot on the active roster.

Impact Pozo was checked on by the Cardinals' trainer Thursday after being shook up by a foul tip. He stayed in and finished the contest, but the team will evaluate him again to make sure he doesn't have concussion symptoms.
