Ivan Herrera To Miss At Least Four Weeks With Bone Bruise
16 seconds agoSt. Louis Cardinals catcher Ivan Herrera (knee) has been diagnosed with a bone bruise in his left knee after getting more tests in St. Louis on Monday and will miss a minimum of four weeks, according to manager Oliver Marmol. With Herrera on the injured list for the foreseeable future, Willson Contreras isn't a candidate to return behind the plate, according to Marmol. Herrera was forced to leave in the third inning in Game 1 of the team's doubleheader on Sunday against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. It's a tough break for the 24-year-old native of Panama, as he was off to a red-hot start at the plate in 2025 as the Cards' primary catcher, going 8-for-21 with four home runs, two doubles, 11 RBI and six runs scored in his first seven games. Given his excellent start, he's worth stashing in deeper fantasy leagues. Pedro Pages will now be the primary backstop, with Yohel Pozo backing him up.
