The Cardinals optioned Raposo to Triple-A Memphis on Monday.
Raposo was up with the big club as depth at catcher after Ivan Herrera (back) joined Willson Contreras (forearm) on the injured list Saturday. However, with Contreras getting activated Monday, Raposo will head back to Memphis while Pedro Pages sticks around as the No. 2 backstop behind Contreras.

Cardinals' Nick Raposo: Selected from Memphis
Rotowire
The Cardinals selected Raposo's contract from Triple-A Memphis on Saturday.
With Ivan Herrera (back) headed to the injured list, the Cardinals will call upon Raposo to give them additional depth behind the plate. The 26-year-old backstop has slashed just .187/.241/.323 through 167 plate appearances in the minors and is unlikely to see much playing time behind Pedro Pages while Herrera is out. Keynan Middleton (forearm) was transferred to the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.
