What happened: Jimmy Crooks will start at catcher and bat ninth today after replacing Pedro Pagés in the lineup. A stomach virus prompted the late scratch for Pagés.

Why it matters: The adjustment places Jimmy Crooks behind the plate during his first full MLB season. The move alters the bottom of the batting order for the afternoon contest while affording Pagés time to recover.

What to watch: Monitor Pagés' availability over the coming days as the team evaluates his recovery.
