Jimmy Crooks III went 1-for-1 in a loss to the Diamondbacks with a home run, one run scored and one RBI.

Crooks is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Crooks has now been in the lineup just once over the Cardinals' last eight games. Part of that has been the schedule, as they've faced five lefties over that span and the lefty-swinging Crooks doesn't play against southpaws. Additionally, Ivan Herrera typically catches for Michael McGreevy and Andre Pallante, who is starting Thursday. The situation makes for a frustrating playing-time crunch for Crooks.

Crooks is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

After he was held out of the lineup for the first two games of the series against lefty starters, the left-handed hitter will remain on the bench even with right-hander Javier Assad on the bump for the Cubs. Crooks looks as though he'll have to settle for a part-time role while the Cardinals continue to carry two other catchers (Ivan Herrera and Pedro Pages) on the active roster.

Crooks is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

The left-handed-hitting Crooks is on the bench for the fourth time in five games, with three of those absences coming against right-handed starting pitchers. He's mustered an uninspiring .157/.246/.255 slash line over 57 plate appearances since being called up from Triple-A Memphis on May 29. Until Crooks begins to pick up the pace at the plate, he could be in store for a limited role as part of a three-way timeshare at catcher with Pedro Pages and Ivan Herrera.

Crooks is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

The left-handed-hitting Crooks didn't start the previous two days due to Arizona having a lefty on the mound. He's absent from Thursday's lineup because Ivan Herrera has been Michael McGreevy's personal catcher this season. Crooks had started six of seven contests prior to this three-game run with no starts, so it's been an inconsistent stretch of playing time for the rookie catcher.

Crooks is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Arizona is sending its second lefty starter (Mitch Bratt) to the hill in as many days, and the left-handed-hitting Crooks has been left on the bench on both occasions. St. Louis will go with Pedro Pages as their starting catcher in place of Crooks.

Crooks went 1-for-3 with a double and two RBI in Monday's win over the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Crooks provided the game's biggest hit in the fourth inning, lining a two-run double off Lucas Giolito to extend St. Louis' lead. The two RBI marked the second multi-RBI game of the catcher's young career. Since being called up from Triple-A Memphis on May 29, he has gone 6-for-28 (.214) with one home run, two doubles, six RBI and two runs scored. Playing time will be inconsistent for Crooks, as he currently operates in a catching committee alongside Ivan Herrera and Pedro Pages.

Crooks is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Crooks will be held out of the lineup for the second straight day while the Cardinals go with Ivan Herrera behind the plate for the series finale, after Pedro Pages had handled catching duties in Saturday's 9-6 win.
