The Cardinals activated Herrera (back) from the 10-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Memphis.
Herrera has been shelved since June 22 due to soreness in his lower back, and although he's now healthy, the 24-year-old won't rejoin the big-league roster. Pedro Pages will handle backup catching duties behind Willson Contreras in St. Louis.
