Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Herrera took a big step forward last season at Triple-A Memphis, sporting a .291/.451/.500 batting line with 10 home runs and 11 stolen bases. He was also very productive during his brief time in the majors, slashing .297/.409/.351 with a 61.5 percent hard-hit rate in 13 contests. Herrera's strike-zone discipline has long been a strength, and he took it to another level in 2023 at Memphis with a 20 percent walk rate and 20.5 percent strikeout rate. His power hasn't fully unlocked to this point, due in large part to a bloated groundball rate, but given that he's still just 23 that part of his game might still grow. With Andrew Knizner non-tendered, Herrera is in line to serve as Willson Contreras' understudy in 2024. It's a role which garnered 63 starts and 241 plate appearances for Knizner last season, and a similar workload for Herrera seems likely. That's not enough playing time for Herrera to be very fantasy relevant, but he would have some upside if pushed into more responsibilities. Read Past Outlooks
On bench again Wednesday
Herrera is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.
ANALYSIS
Herrera had a slight edge over Pedro Pages in playing time in the first week after Willson Contreras (finger) got hurt and landed on the injured list. However, the playing time has recently been tilting in favor of Pages, who has now started six of the last eight contests. With Thursday's series finale being an afternoon game, Herrera will likely be back in the lineup that day.

Stat Review
How does Ivan Herrera compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Herrera's developmental schedule was stalled over the winter once St. Louis inked Willson Contreras to a long-term deal in late November. Herrera is likely scheduled to get back to Triple-A unless he beats out Andrew Knizner in the spring. Herrera has much more upside than Knizner, but the addition of Contreras allows the Cardinals to give Herrera some more seasoning in Memphis because he should be getting more than 1-2 games a week than he would get in St. Louis as long as Contreras is healthy. Simply put, Herrera's immediate future is a bit less exciting as long as he remains in St. Louis as long as Contreras is healthy.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Garnering trade interest
The Cardinals have received trade interest in Herrera, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Woo writes that Herrera "isn't necessarily on the block," but St. Louis will entertain offers. Because of Herrera's defensive ability, Pedro Pages is the preferred backup behind Willson Contreras, and with Contreras under contract through 2027, it's not a surprise to hear Herrera might be on the way out. The 24-year-old has slashed .279/.340/.378 with the Cardinals and .256/.418/.535 at Triple-A Memphis in 2024.
