Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Thursday that Contreras is likely to be sidelined for about 10 weeks after successful surgery Wednesday to repair a fractured left forearm,
Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSISContreras had offered a 6-to-8 week timetable himself earlier this week, but indications are that it will probably be a bit longer than that. It puts the catcher out likely until right around the All-Star break.
Ivan Herrera will operate as the Cardinals' primary catcher while Contreras is sidelined, with
Pedro Pages backing him up.
