5/28/25 | Thriving at DH, how does Ivan Herrera keep growing as a catcher?: Cardinals Extra. The day after catching for one of the few times since he returned from injury, Ivan Herrera huddled with pitching coach Dusty Blake on Wednesday to go through his game behind the plate, pitch by pitch, and discuss execution and alternative options. “It's not just the arm that he's developing,” manager Oliver Marmol said. It's just as important he continues to get starts at catcher, the Cardinals say. While Herrera has used regular starts at designated hitter to establish himself as an ascending middle-order hitter for the Cardinals, the club does not want to abandon his upside as a catcher and pigeonhole him at DH — not at age 24.

5/24/25 | Willson Contreras' absence allows Cardinals to fit 2 'runway' hitters in lineup: First Pitch. The Cardinals continue a home series Saturday against the Diamondbacks. With Ivan Herrera's return from the injured list and rise up the lineup onto the hitting leaderboards, the Cardinals have not had the same at-bats available two of the young hitters they'd like to see more of this season. Alec Burleson has seen his at-bats squeezed at designated hitter and Jordan Walker has had to share some of his starts with Burleson in right. Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol understood when this approach was described as a "platoon" with the left-handed-hitting Burleson and right-handed-hitting Walker, but he stressed that Walker would get starts against right-handed pitchers and that a strict platoon was not developing.
