    • Nursing back issue
      Herrera is unavailable to play Thursday against the Giants due to a back issue, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Herrera's back evidently locked up on him sometime around his arrival at Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Ala. It partly explains why he's not in the lineup, although Pedro Pages has been the Cardinals' preferred option at catcher lately, anyway. At this point, Herrera should be considered day-to-day. St. Louis has a team day off Friday, so he'll have an extra day of rest before the series versus the Giants picks back up Saturday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:50 pm
       
    • Resting Thursday
      Herrera isn't in the Cardinals' lineup for Thursday's game against the Giants, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

      Advice: Herrera will sit for the second game in a row Thursday despite going 8-for-18 with three RBI across his last five contests. Pedro Pages will instead start behind the plate and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:45 am
       
    • Getting breather Wednesday
      Herrera is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Herrera will get a breather for Wednesday's day game after going 1-for-4 with a walk and a run scored while catching the first nine innings of Tuesday night's 9-8 extra-inning loss. Pedro Pages will step in behind the dish for the series finale. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 7:13 am
       
    • Getting break Sunday
      Herrera is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Even though he served as the Cardinals' designated hitter the last two days rather than catching, Herrera will take a seat for the series finale in Chicago. Masyn Winn will get a day off from playing shortstop and will serve as St. Louis' DH, while Pedro Pages picks up a fourth consecutive start behind the plate. Though Pages' playing time has been trending up of late, he's still holding down a lowly .443 OPS on the season and still looks to be behind Herrera on the depth chart while top backstop Willson Contreras (forearm) is on the shelf.

    • Logs steal Friday
      Herrera went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 3-0 win over the Cubs.

      Advice: Herrera is up to four steals this season, three of which he's recorded over 11 games in June. The catcher is batting .316 (12-for-38) this month, adding five doubles, seven runs scored and one RBI. For the season, he's at a steady .273/.335/.366 slash line with three home runs, 17 RBI, 22 runs scored and six doubles over 179 plate appearances. Herrera has started behind the dish just once in the last five games, though it's unclear why his playing time has dipped, as Pedro Pages has made little impact with his bat.

    • Sitting out Thursday's game
      Herrera isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Pirates.

      Advice: Herrera started at catcher in the win over the Pirates on Wednesday night, so he will get a breather for Thursday's afternoon tilt. Pedro Pages will serve as the Cardinals' starting catcher in the series finale. Rotowire.com Thursday, 7:17 am
       
    • Raps three hits in victory
      Herrera went 3-for-4 with a run and a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-2 win against the Pirates.

      Advice: Herrera and Nolan Arenado both had three hits for St. Louis in the win, combining for over half of the team's total base knocks. Herrera helped generate a run in the fourth inning when he led off with a single, advanced to second on another single, stole third and crossed the plate on an infield hit. The backstop has four multi-hit performances through 10 contests in June and is batting .314 (11-for-35) overall this month. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 10:55 pm
       
    • Iván Herrera collects three hits in victory
      Iván Herrera went 3-for-4 and stole a base Wednesday in his first start in four days.

      Advice: Herrera sat both Sunday and Tuesday, with a team off day Monday in between. The Cardinals clearly prefer Pedro Pagés’ defense to Herrera’s, but Herrera is obviously much better offensively. In spite of Herrera’s success tonight, he was replaced for defense late in the contest. Rotoworld Wednesday, 9:20 pm
