Iván Herrera Injury News & Updates
Sep 20, 2023
Recalled from Memphis
St. Louis recalled Herrera from Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Herrera could see a couple of starts at catcher as the Cardinals play out the string on a highly disappointing 2023 season, though he'll have to contend with both Willson Contreras and Andrew Knizner. Herrera, 23, has gone 8-for-23 (.348) with an .814 OPS in eight games this year at the big-league level.
Jul 24, 2023
Optioned to Triple-A
Herrera was sent to Triple-A Memphis on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Herrera will head back to Memphis after he spent nearly three weeks with the major-league squad, going 8-for-23 with a double, two RBI and three runs scored over eight contests. With Andrew Knizner back as the team's backup catcher, Herrera will look to continue to impress at Triple-A in order to return to St. Louis' roster later this season.
Jul 16, 2023
Three hits in win
Herrera went 3-for-3 with a run scored and a hit-by-pitch in Saturday's 9-6 win over the Nationals.
ANALYSIS
Herrera has done everything asked of him so far, going 6-for-12 with a double, two RBI and three runs scored over his three games while filling in for Andrew Knizner (groin) on the 26-man roster. Herrera's playing has been limited with Willson Contreras occupying a starting role, but John Denton of MLB.com reports manager Oliver Marmol is considering keeping three catchers around once Knizner is activated from the injured list.
Jul 5, 2023
Called up Wednesday
Herrera was called up from Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Herrera will return to the big leagues after he was optioned to Memphis ahead of the 2023 campaign. The catcher has produced a .308 average with eight homers, 44 RBI, 39 runs and seven stolen bases over 185 at-bats in 50 games in Triple-A this year. Herrera will now operate as the primary reserve option behind Willson Contreras after Andrew Knizner (groin) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.
Mar 16, 2023
Optioned to Memphis
Herrera was optioned to Triple-A Memphis by the Cardinals on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
The backup catcher role behind Willson Contreras will likely come down to Andrew Knizner and Tres Barrera. Herrera, 22, went 2-for-18 (.111) in his first taste of MLB action last year.
Feb 25, 2023
Withdraws from WBC
Herrera will remain in camp with the Cardinals instead of playing for Panama at the World Baseball Classic, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Herrera withdrew from the WBC on Saturday, and he'll now turn his focus on competing for the backup catcher spot behind Willson Contreras. Herrera went 2-for-18 with one RBI, two walks and eight strikeouts across 22 plate appearances in the majors last season. He also hit .274/.381/.402 with six home runs, six stolen bases and 34 RBI in 65 games with Triple-A Memphis. Andrew Knizner is more likely to open the season as the Cardinals' backup catcher, but Herrera will try to force the issue with a strong spring.
Aug 22, 2022
Sent down Monday
Herrera was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Herrera was called up Saturday to provide depth behind the dish, but he didn't appear in either of the last two games. While he'll remain on the taxi squad, the 22-year-old will lose his spot on the active roster after Yadier Molina (personal) was reinstated from the restricted list.
Aug 20, 2022
Promoted from taxi squad
Herrera was recalled from Triple-A Memphis on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
With Yadier Molina traveling to Puerto Rico to handle personal matters, Herrera will join the team from the taxi squad as short-term catching depth. Herrera has been used sparingly during his major-league stints this year and he's struggled in limited action, going 2-for-18 with eight strikeouts.
Jul 29, 2022
Heads back to minors
Herrera was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Friday.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old joined the Cardinals for the two-game series against the Blue Jays this week and will now return to Triple-A. Herrera didn't appear in either contest for St. Louis and is unlikely to be a factor in the majors the rest of the year. He has a .295/.385/.432 slash line with three home runs and 21 RBI in 37 games for Memphis this season.
Jul 26, 2022
Returns to big leagues
Herrera was called up from Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Herrera will make his return to the big leagues after joining the Cardinals for a 11-game stint earlier this summer. He'll replace Austin Romine on the active roster for the team's two-game series in Toronto. Herrera owns a .295 average with three homers, 21 RBI, 22 runs and two stolen bases over 139 at-bats over 37 games with Memphis this season. He'll look to improve upon the .111 average he produced over his first 11 career major-league contests.
Jul 4, 2022
Heads back to Triple-A
Herrera was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Herrera joined the big club for a second time in mid-June, but he picked up just two hits over 18 at-bats, so he will head back to the minors for the time being. Herrera is one of the Cardinals' better prospects, so he could get another shot with the big club before the campaign comes to a close, particularly if Yadier Molina (knee) continues to miss time.
Jul 3, 2022
Losing work to Knizner
Herrera is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.
ANALYSIS
Herrera's run as the Cardinals' No. 1 catcher may have come to an end. He'll be on the bench for the third time in four games while Andrew Knizner picks up another start behind the dish.
Jul 1, 2022
Sitting again Friday
Herrera will sit Friday versus the Phillies, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Herrera will sit for a second straight game after he made three straight starts and went 2-for-9. Andrew Knizner is starting at catcher and will bat ninth against the Phillies.
Jun 29, 2022
Not in Wednesday's lineup
Herrera isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
ANALYSIS
Herrera started in the last three games and went 2-for-9 with two walks and three strikeouts. Andrew Knizner is taking over behind the dish and batting ninth Wednesday.
Jun 27, 2022
Receives second straight start
Herrera will start at catcher and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Marlins, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
ANALYSIS
Since Yadier Molina (knee) remains without a clear timeline to return from the injured list and with Andrew Knizner sitting on a lowly .525 OPS through 136 plate appearances on the season, the Cardinals may be ready to give Herrera glimpse as their primary catcher. The 22-year-old rookie will pick up his second straight start after going 2-for-3 with a walk in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Cubs. Prior to being called up from the minors following Molina's placement on the IL, Herrera showcased a dash of pop (.145 ISO) and strong plate discipline (12.7 percent walk rate, 14.7 percent strikeout rate) over his 129 plate appearances with Triple-A Memphis.
Jun 27, 2022
First major league hit
Herrera went 2-for-3 with a walk in a 6-5 loss to the Cubs on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
The rookie catcher picked up his first major league hit with a single off Alec Mill in the second inning. He later walked and singled again to make it a two-hit game. The Cardinals recalled the backstop from Triple-A Memphis on Friday when Yadier Molina was sidelined with knee inflammation. Herrera and Andrew Knizer are both in the mix for at-bats while Molina is out and it is worth monitoring if either one of them can make a statement with the newfound opportunity.
Jun 17, 2022
Recalled by Cardinals
Herrera was recalled from Triple-A Memphis on Friday.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old will join the Cardinals as additional depth behind the dish after Yadier Molina (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday. Herrera hasn't yet made any plate appearances in the majors and should serve as the backup to Andrew Knizner. However, Herrera should have a chance to carve out playing time since Knizner went just 1-for-22 with a walk and seven strikeouts over his last seven games.
Jun 16, 2022
Set to rejoin major-league club
Herrera will be recalled by the Cardinals on Friday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Herrera spent a few days with the Cardinals in late May, but he'll rejoin the big-league club as a backup to Andrew Knizner since the team will place Yadier Molina (knee) on the 10-day injured list Friday. After failing to make any plate appearances during his first stint with the major-league club, Herrera should have more chances to prove himself at the top level while Molina is sidelined.
May 26, 2022
Sent to Triple-A
Herrera was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Herrera received his first taste of the big leagues this week with Yadier Molina (personal) on the bereavement list, though he didn't actually make his MLB debut. Molina is back on the active roster Thursday, prompting Herrera's return to Triple-A.
May 23, 2022
Joins big club
The Cardinals recalled Herrera from Triple-A Memphis on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Herrera is expected to be in store for a short-term stay with the Cardinals, as fellow backstop Yadier Molina (personal) will be away from the team for 3-to-7 days after being placed on the bereavement list. While Molina is inactive, Herrera will serve as the No. 2 catcher behind Andrew Knizner. Herrera, 21, is slashing .310/.405/.493 over 84 plate appearances with Memphis this season.
Mar 31, 2022
Optioned to Memphis
Herrera was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Herrera spent the majority of the 2021 season with Double-A Springfield, where he hit .231/.346/.408 across 437 plate appearances. He was promoted to Triple-A Memphis to close the campaign, though he appeared in only one game at the level. Given that, it's no surprise that he isn't starting the season in St. Louis, but he could be in line for his big-league debut if either Yadier Molina or Andrew Knizner suffer an injury.
Sep 20, 2021
Promoted to Triple-A
Herrera was promoted to Triple-A Memphis on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Herrera posted a lackluster .231 batting average across 98 games at Double-A Springfield this year, but he recorded hits in each of his last seven appearances and hit .382 with two home runs, two doubles, seven runs and seven RBI during that time. Since the Double-A season has concluded, he'll now appear in game action for a few more weeks in Memphis.
Jul 30, 2021
Mostly scuffling at Double-A
Herrera owns a .216/.346/.345 slash line with six doubles, eight home runs, 41 RBI, and 30 runs across 65 games with Double-A Springfield.
ANALYSIS
Herrera did belt two homers and drove in five runs overall as part of a big 3-for-5 night versus Arkansas on Wednesday, but as his cited numbers suggest, success of that caliber has been few and far between. The 21-year-old has proven a capable bat at every prior stop in the organization, however, so there's still reason to believe he can pick up his batting average before the end of the minor-league season. Herrera's eight round trippers tie his career-best figure from 2019 at Low-A Peoria, while his 16.3 percent walk rate is a new high-water mark altogether.
Mar 20, 2021
Optioned to minor-league camp
Herrera was optioned to minor-league camp Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Herrera was added to the 40-man roster in November to protect him from the Rule 5 draft but has yet to play above Double-A. The 20-year-old appeared in four Grapefruit League games this spring and went 0-for-4 with one walk, one run and one strikeout.
Nov 18, 2020
Contract selected by Cardinals
Herrera's contract was selected by the Cardinals on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Herrera will join the Cardinals' 40-man roster in order to protect him from the upcoming Rule 5 draft. Even if the team doesn't bring Yadier Molina back during the offseason, the 20-year-old has mainly worked in the lower levels of the minors and is unlikely to be considered for a major-league roster spot in 2021. Herrera slashed .284/.374/.405 with nine home runs and 47 RBI between the Low-A and High-A levels in 2019.
Jul 16, 2020
Sent to alternate camp
The Cardinals assigned Herrera to their alternate training site in Springfield on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
St. Louis appears content to proceed with veterans Yadier Molina and Matt Wieters as their main catching options on the Opening Day roster, and prospect Andrew Knizner is probably the next man up in the event the Cardinals elect to bring a third backstop aboard. As a result, Herrera finds himself somewhat buried on the organizational depth chart, though the 20-year-old could be a potential successor to Molina down the road. Herrera split time between High-A Palm Beach and Low-A Peoria in 2019, slashing .284/.374/.405 with nine home runs and 47 RBI in 87 games.
