Cardinals activate catcher Iván Herrera from injured list
The St. Louis Cardinals have activated catcher Iván Herrera from the 10-day injured list and optioned first baseman/designated hitter Luken Baker to Triple-A Memphis4 DAYS AGO • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Serving as DH in first game back Herrera is starting at designated hitter and batting sixth in Friday's game against the Nationals.
Impact It's Herrera's first game with the Cardinals in more than a month as he returns from a left knee bone bruise. While Herrera will see the bulk of the reps at catcher against right-handed pitching, he could be the primary DH versus lefties after the previous holder of that title -- Luken Baker -- was optioned to Triple-A Memphis. The Nationals are starting southpaw Mitchell Parker in Friday's series opener.

Activated from injured list The Cardinals reinstated Herrera (knee) from the 10-day injured list Friday.
Impact The 24-year-old backstop has been cleared to rejoin the big-league roster after a six-game rehab assignment, during which he went 9-for-23 with a homer, a double and two stolen bases. The two steals are an especially encouraging sign that Herrera has fully recovered from the knee bruise that has sidelined him for the past month. Herrera clubbed four homers in seven games prior to the injury and will reclaim the starting job behind the plate, with Pedro Pages and Yohel Pozo serving as the secondary options.
