BOSTON (AP) — Willson Contreras’ demotion from catching didn’t last very long. St. Louis manager Oliver Marmol announced before a game in Boston that the 31-year-old Contreras will be back behind the plate on Monday night when the Cardinals open a homestand against the Milwaukee Brewers. The three-time All-Star was signed to an $87.5 million, five-year contract in December to replace retired Yadier Molina at catcher. But Marmol announced last weekend that Contreras would be taking a break from catching for a while. He has been the designated hitter during his time away from behind the plate.
