Ivan Herrera Not Expected to Return Until After All-Star Break
Ivan Herrera (hamstring) might begin a minor-league rehab assignment, but the team doesn't expect him to return to the major-league roster until after the All-Star break, according to president of baseball operations John Mozeliak. Until Herrera returns, Pedro Pages will continue to hold down the starting duties behind the plate in St. Louis. The 25-year-old Herrera has been out of action since June 19 but should return to starting duties for the Cardinals to begin the second half of the season, barring a setback when he begins a rehab assignment. The Panamanian backstop has been an offensive asset for the Red Birds so far this year by hitting .320/.392/.533 with a .925 OPS, eight home runs, 36 RBI, 22 runs scored and a stolen base in 42 games. He also hit over .300 in 72 games in 2024, but with only five homers and 27 RBI.
