Jimmy Crooks struck out in both of his at-bats before being lifted from the first game of Tuesday’s doubleheader against the Brewers.

Sending Crooks out to face Jacob Misiorowski for his first at-bats in five days wasn’t exactly fair, but that’s part of what hitting .164 gets you. Crooks was supposed to be the Cardinals’ most frequent starter behind the plate after he was added to the roster at the end of May, but the start today was just his fourth in the last 14 games. If he’s not going to play any more than this, the Cardinals might return him to Triple-A and bring back Yohel Pozo as a third catching option.
