Diamondbacks' Jose Herrera: Goes deep in win
Herrera went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Brewers.
Herrera turned on an Aaron Civale curveball and sent it over the right field fence for his first home run of the season. He had been getting steady at-bats earlier this month, but that's no longer the case since Gabriel Moreno was activated off the injured list a week ago. Herrera is batting .226/.277/.312 over 39 games in 2024.

Diamondbacks' Jose Herrera: Losing work to Del Castillo
Herrera is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies.
Herrera is on the bench for the second day in a row while the Diamondbacks hand another start at catcher to rookie Adrian Del Castillo, who has opened his big-league career by going 7-for-12 with three extra-base hits over his first three games. Even while Gabriel Moreno (adductor) is out indefinitely, Herrera looks like he could remain the Diamondbacks' No. 2 catcher, especially while Del Castillo is wielding a hot bat.

Herrera went 3-for-4 with a walk, one RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 12-1 win over the Blue Jays.
This was Herrera's first multi-hit effort of the season. The backup catcher is now batting .368 with no home runs, four RBI, four runs scored and one double over 23 plate appearances. While he's done well in limited action, Herrera is unlikely to see more than a couple of starts per week behind primary catcher Gabriel Moreno.

Diamondbacks' Jose Herrera: Added to big-league roster
The Diamondbacks recalled Herrera from Triple-A Reno on Saturday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.
A thumb injury forced Gabriel Moreno onto the 10-day injured list Saturday, so Herrera will join the active roster to give the D-backs some security behind the plate. The 27-year-old backstop has slashed .260/.351/.362 with 19 RBI in 149 plate appearances with Reno this season, and he figures to serve as the backup to Tucker Barnhart while Moreno is out.

Diamondbacks' Jose Herrera: Loses out in roster battle
The Diamondbacks optioned Herrera to Triple-A Reno on Sunday.
Herrera's demotion signals that Tucker Barnhart has likely won the Diamondbacks' backup catching job. The 27-year-old Herrera should still be the first catcher in line for a call-up to the big-league roster if either Gabriel Moreno or Barnhart is forced to miss time at any point in 2024.

Diamondbacks' Jose Herrera: Will have competition
Herrera will compete with Tucker Barnhart for the backup catcher job during spring training, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
Arizona signed Barnhart last week and extended an invitation to big league camp. The prospect of Herrera opening a third consecutive season as the top backup seemed likely, but there now appears to be a competition on tap. Neither player has done much with a bat in hand, so it may come down to which one offers better defense and game-calling. The 32-year-old Barnhart has the edge in experience.
