Will try throwing from knees Herrera will start throwing from his knees in hopes that it will help him better control the running game, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Baserunners are 5-for-5 on stolen base attempts against Herrera this season and 60-for-64 since the beginning of last year. The throwing problems have led to Herrera sometimes being removed from games he starts in the later innings when the Cardinals need to prioritize defense. Herrera clubbed two homers among his first four plate appearances in Wednesday's game versus the Angels, and the Cardinals want to keep his bat in the lineup as often as possible. Improving his throwing will help ensure that.

Expected to catch on Opening Day Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Monday that he's planning to start Herrera at catcher and bat him sixth Opening Day versus the Twins, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispa...

Impact The lineup the Cardinals are using in Monday's exhibition tilt against Triple-A Memphis -- one that features Herrera behind the plate -- is the same one Marmol is eyeing for the opener. Herrera has been in a competition with Pedro Pages for the St. Louis catcher job, and it appears Herrera will get the first crack at it. What the ultimate breakdown in playing time between the two catchers will be over the duration of the season isn't clear.

Heating up in Grapefruit League Herrera is 6-for-12 with one home run and a 0:3 K:BB over his last five Grapefruit League contests.

Impact The nice stretch at the plate came after he went hitless in his first six games of the spring. There isn't much question about Herrera's offense. Where he needs to improve is on the defensive side, and more specifically, his throwing arm. Herrera trained this offseason at Driveline's facility in Tampa, Florida, where he was put on a throwing program to build arm strength and alter his throwing motion, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. The 24-year-old Herrera is competing with Pedro Pages for reps at catcher for the Cardinals, and the consensus is that Herrera will, at minimum, split the duties, and perhaps receive the lion's share of work.

What to know as the Cardinals' Ivan Herrera and Pedro Pages usher in a new era at catcher As Willson Contreras changes positions, what to know about the Cardinals' two young catchers Ivan Herrera and Pedro Pages

NOVEMBER 10, 2024 • STLTODAY.COM

Set to split time at catcher Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak said Wednesday that Herrera and Pedro Pages will share playing time at catcher next season, Katie Woo of The Athletic repor...

Impact Willson Contreras is moving into a first base/designated hitter role, clearing the way for Herrera and Pages to handle catching duties. Herrera is much more intriguing of the two from an offensive standpoint, having slashed .301/.377/.417 in 85 games over the last season seasons with the Cardinals. However, his defense -- and particularly his throwing -- have drawn scrutiny, to the point that Pages leapt him on the depth chart down the stretch. How the playing time will ultimately break down between the two in 2025 is not yet clear.

NOVEMBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Homers in Thursday's loss Herrera went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Thursday's 10-8 loss to the Rockies.

Impact This was Herrera's second homer in his last four games, though he hasn't seen steady playing time in that span. He got a start at designated hitter Thursday with Pedro Pages behind the dish. Herrera has hit well but not for much power this year with a .298/.368/.427 slash line, five home runs, 27 RBI, 37 runs scored, 12 doubles and five stolen bases over 71 contests.

Cardinals and Guardians meet with series tied 1-1

Both the St. Louis Cardinals and the Cleveland Guardians are looking for a series win with a victory on Sunday

SEPTEMBER 22, 2024 • Associated Press

Remains hot Saturday Herrera went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run, an additional run, a double and a walk in Saturday's 6-5 win against Cleveland.

Impact Herrera clubbed a three-run shot in the seventh inning to increase the Cardinals' lead to 6-1. The catcher has gone 9-for-20 over his past seven games to push his season batting average to an impressive .293. Herrera remains behind Pedro Pages in the backstop pecking order, however, as Pages has started five of the Cardinals' past eight games behind the plate.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Racks up three hits Herrera went 3-for-5 with one RBI and one run scored in Wednesday's 10-5 win over the Pirates.

Impact Herrera is batting .320 (8-for-25) over eight games in September, though he's been in the backup role for much of the last week. Pedro Pages continues to see a slight edge for playing time behind the dish. Herrera has done enough to avoid being completely ignored with a .288/.354/.387 slash line, three home runs, five stolen bases, 23 RBI and 32 runs scored over 66 contests this season.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

On bench again Wednesday Herrera is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

Impact Herrera had a slight edge over Pedro Pages in playing time in the first week after Willson Contreras (finger) got hurt, but more recently it's tilted heavily toward Pages, who has now started six of the last eight contests. With Thursday's series finale being an afternoon game, Herrera will likely be back in the lineup that day.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Records fifth steal Herrera went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and two runs scored in Sunday's 10-4 loss to the Mariners.

Impact Herrera was the only Cardinal with multiple hits in the contest. The catcher has gone 3-for-12 with one RBI and four runs scored over four games in September. Herrera has operated as the No. 2 catcher behind Pedro Pages since Willson Contreras (finger) landed on the injured list. Herrera has a .281/.350/.382 slash line, three home runs, five steals, 22 RBI and 30 runs scored across 223 plate appearances this season.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Resting Saturday Herrera isn't in the Cardinals' lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Herrera has gone 5-for-15 with three RBI across his last five games, but he'll sit down for a second consecutive contest Saturday while Pedro Pages catches for Kyle Gibson and bats seventh.

SEPTEMBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not in Monday's lineup Herrera is not in the lineup for Monday's game in Milwaukee.

Impact In nine games since Willson Contreras (finger) went on the 10-day injured list, Herrera has started five games at catcher for the Cardinals, while Pedro Pages has garnered four starts. It will be Pages doing the catching for the series opener versus the Brewers.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting Friday Herrera is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees.

Impact Herrera had started three of the Cardinals previous four games, but he'll give way to Pedro Pages behind the plate Friday. Since being called up Sunday, Herrera is 3-for-12 with a double, an RBI and a run scored.

AUGUST 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Getting third start in four games Herrera will start at catcher and bat eighth in Thursday's game against the Padres.

Impact Herrera will pick up his third start in four games behind the dish. With Willson Contreras on the injured list, Herrera is expected to be part of a timeshare at catcher with Pedro Pages rather than the Cardinals' clear-cut No. 1 option.
