He stayed active defensively with three tackles and three clearances but made his biggest impact going forward.

APRIL 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

On bench against San Jose Herrera (illness) is on the bench for Sunday's clash against San Jose Earthquakes.

Impact Herrera is available for limited minutes as he just recovered from his ailment. The defender has provided one assist while taking 14 corner kicks in six starts during the current campaign. He should be a strong candidate to replace Derek Dodson either during this match or in subsequent lineups.

APRIL 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up illness Herrera is questionable for Sunday's match against San Jose due to an illness.

Impact Herrera looks to be a late call, likely needing to see how he feels in the morning due to an illness. This could be a tough blow for the club, as he has yet to miss a start this season. That said, this could force a replacement, with Lukas MacNaughton as a possible replacement.

APRIL 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Saturday Herrera (not injury related) is in the starting XI for Saturday's visit to Orlando City.

Impact Herrera returned from international duty with an injury, but apparently it wasn't too serious, allowing him to do his usual work on the right side of his side's back four. He has registered one assist in four full matches played, while his nine set-piece shots or crosses stand out as the highest total on the squad during that span.

MARCH 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sent home from national team Herrera has been dropped from the Guatemalan national team due to injury and is likely out for the next few weeks, according to Elizabeth Gonzalez of Liga Guate.

Impact Herrera will not join Guatemala as they head into their Gold Cup matches, with the defender suffering from an injury he suffered last contest. Initial reports have claimed it is an Achilles injury, although that is still yet to be confirmed. He will likely be set for assessment, hoping he doesn't remain out too long due to the injury.

Will represent Guatemala Herrera has been called up by Guatemala for both matches against Guyana in the Gold Cup qualifications on March 21 and March 25, respectively.

Impact Herrera has started all four league games for D.C. United this season providing one assist and creating seven chances but will miss Saturday's match against Orlando due to a call-up. He should return in time to face Columbus on March 29. His absence will force a change in the starting XI with Jared Stroud likely starting as the right-back for that game.

He also made six tackles and performed three clearances in core defensive duties. His key contribution to the game was creating the assist for Jacob Murrell's equalizing goal in the dying minutes of the game. The Guatemalan international created four assists last season from his crosses.

Option exercised Herrera's contract option for 2025 was picked up, D.C. United announced.

It was a great all-around showing, and his 30 appearances (29 starts) were the third-most of his career. He will be a crucial part moving forward in D.C.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Four crosses in draw Herrera registered three shots (zero on goal) and four crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 1-1 draw against New York City FC.

Impact Herrera was active bombing forward throughout Saturday's draw, sending in four crosses and three shots. The volume was disappointing to say the least as he failed to produce a single accurate shot or cross. Still the fact Herrera got forward so much is encouraging for his upside going forward.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back in starting XI Herrera (not injury related) has been included in the starting lineup for Saturday's game versus New York City FC.

Impact Herrera is available from kickoff after taking part in a couple of international matches for Guatemala. The defender will likely feature as a right-back with the team playing a back-four scheme, pushing Garrison Tubbs back to the bench.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Leaving to national team Herrera has been called up to the Guatemalan national team for their upcoming Nations League matches and will not make the trip to Chicago on Saturday.

Impact Herrera has been a great addition to the team since joining in the offseason. He's started 23 of the 24 matches played in MLS, totaling a goal with three assists while sending 70 crosses (24 accurate) and 53 tackles. Cristian Dajome could get the call to start at right back against Chicago in his absence.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores first season goal Herrera scored a goal off his lone shot and made four tackles (all won), three clearances and two interceptions during Wednesday's 3-2 win over Minnesota.

Impact Herrera had one of his best defensive performances on the season and provided even more value on the attacking end as he appeared unmarked inside the opposition's six-yard box to nod the ball home after a teammate headed a cross towards him. This was the first goal of the year for the full-back, who was used as a center-back in each of the last two outings, which theoretically limits his fantasy upside.

Starting Saturday Herrera (undisclosed) is in the starting lineup for the weekend's game versus Nashville.

Impact Herrera made a quick recovery from the issue that forced him off the field in the 30th minute against Orlando. He has made a solid effort on the right flank throughout the campaign, but it looks like he's moving to a central role as part of a back three this time. In terms of defensive output, he's averaging 2.1 clearances, 2.1 tackles and 1.1 interceptions per contest this year.

JULY 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Exits field in 30th minute Herrera was substituted off the field in the 30th minute of Saturday's 5-0 loss to Orlando due to an apparent injury.

Impact Herrera is possibly facing his third absence of the season in the club's next match, with the defender now dealing with an undisclosed issue after his early substitution. The defender has started in all but one match he has been fit for this campaign, so the club will hope this injury is minor. However, with his exact injury still unknown, it is tough to label a timetable for the defender, as he could return in a week or be out for more time, depending on the issue.
