Wieters went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in a 6-5 victory against the Pirates on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran catcher has a homer in each of his last two games and four in his past 11 contests. During that 11-game stretch, he's also batting .303. Wieters is limited because he doesn't play everyday, but he's displayed quite a bit of pop this year with a .252 ISO. He is batting .243 with eight home runs, 18 RBI, 12 runs and a steal in 103 at-bats this season.

Wieters went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
His sixth-inning shot off Luis Castillo opened the scoring on the night. Wieters has turned in solid numbers since Yadier Molina (thumb) hit the shelf, hitting .273 (9-for-33) through 10 games in July with three homers, and the veteran catcher is now slashing .239/.297/.465 on the year with seven home runs and 16 RBI in 111 plate appearances.

Wieters is not in the lineup Friday against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Andrew Knizner will get the start at catcher and bat eighth against Tyler Mahle. Wieters has started 10 out of 14 games since Yadier Molina (thumb) was placed on the 10-day injured list July 11. The switch-hitting veteran is slashing .313/.421/.500 with a home run, three runs scored, one RBI and three walks in his last five starts. Wieters will remain the No. 1 option until Molina's expected return in mid-August.

Wieters is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wieters started the first two games out of the break and went 3-for-6 with a home run and two walks, but he'll receive a breather in the series finale. The 33-year-old should continue seeing the bulk of the starts while Yadier Molina (thumb) remains on the injured list. Andrew Knizner will take over behind the plate Sunday.

Wieters went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
The homer was his third in his last six games and sixth of the season, pushing the veteran catcher's slash line on the year to .224/.280/.459. With Yadier Molina (thumb) potentially sidelined until August, Wieters is in line for steady playing time over the next few weeks, but his fantasy value could still be restricted to deeper formats.

Wieters went 2-for-4 with an RBI single and a walk in a win over the Giants on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Wieters drew a second straight start for Yadier Molina and continued to take advantage of the opportunity, pushing his two-game tally at the plate to 3-for-7 with a solo home run, two RBI overall and two walks. The veteran backstop's playing time opportunities are still expected to remain relatively sparse barring any injury to Molina, who's presumably just been given the last two games off for rest purposes.

Wieters went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in a win over the Mariners on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Wieters slugged a homer off a left-hander for the second straight start, with both round trippers constituting his only two hits against southpaws this season. The 33-year-old backstop has hit safely in three consecutive games, but his season line remains a relatively uninspiring .225/.273/.465 following a 3-for-33 tally during June.

Wieters went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in a victory over the Padres on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Wieters left three men on base in his first four plate appearances but came up big in the 11th inning, smashing a two-run blast to left field off Brad Wieck to snap a 3-3 tie. The homer was Wieters' first in exactly one month and first hit of any kind against a left-handed pitcher in 18 at-bats this season. Filling a backup role to Yadier Molina this season, the 33-year-old is slashing .221/.260/.426 with four home runs and 12 runs batted in.

Wieters is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
As anticipated, Wieters has settled into the clear backup catcher role since Yadier Molina (thumb) returned from the 10-day injured list June 11. Molina will draw a sixth consecutive start Sunday and should shoulder one of the heavier workloads among all catchers when healthy, leaving few opportunities available for Wieters.

Wieters is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
No. 2 backstop Andrew Knizner will handle the catching duties after Wieters was behind the plate for the first two games of the series. Since replacing the injured Yadier Molina (thumb) as St. Louis' top catcher May 29, Wieters has gone 5-for-30 with a pair of home runs.
