Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Herrera unexpectedly won the backup catcher job in 2023 thanks to Carson Kelly starting the year on the IL with a forearm injury. It was the second consecutive season he suited up on Opening Day. Once Kelly returned in June, Herrera was on the Triple-A to MLB shuttle for rest of the season. He finished with 124 plate appearances, and his .557 OPS never threatened to usurp the starting gig from Gabriel Moreno. Herrera enters spring training as the top backup, but will have competition after the Diamondbacks signed Tucker Barnhart and gave him an invite to camp. Read Past Outlooks
Back in action
Herrera went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 11-5 loss to Houston.
ANALYSIS
One day after being removed from a game due to a head injury, Herrera returned to the lineup. He had been hit on the top of his catching helmet by the backswing of Kyle Tucker's bat during Friday's contest and was removed for precautionary reasons. Herrera cleared testing protocols following the game and was able to resume play Saturday.

Stat Review
How does Jose 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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Herrera won the backup catcher job behind Carson Kelly for the Diamondbacks going into last season, but the team wound up using Daulton Varsho more than expected at the position. That meant Herrera often operated as the third catcher when he wasn't back at Triple-A Reno, and he managed a lowly .457 OPS at the plate when he did get his chances. Varsho has since been traded to the Blue Jays, but now Herrera has Gabriel Moreno to contend with. He's unlikely to see much action in the majors in 2023 and even if he did it's not a profile for fantasy managers to get excited about.
