Cardinals' Ivan Herrera: Going through some workouts
Herrera (knee) feels more comfortable getting around and has been going through some workouts, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
He has not, however, been cleared to begin baseball activities as he works his way back from a left knee bone bruise. Herrera is just under a week into an absence that's expected to last at least four weeks. Pedro Pages will continue to operate as the Cardinals' primary catcher while Herrera is sidelined.

Pirates' Joey Bart: Exits with back injury
Bart was removed from Friday's game against the Reds due to lower-back discomfort.
The Pirates are labelling Bart as day-to-day, which is a good sign that his injury isn't too serious. The 28-year-old may miss a game or two if his soreness lingers, but he doesn't appear destined for the injured list.
