Herrera (elbow) was confined to designated hitter duties during the final months of last season due to elbow problems and defensive concerns. He underwent elbow surgery during the offseason. (Derrick Goold)

Fantasy Impact:

He made his first start at catcher this spring on Sunday against Pittsburgh in a Grapefruit League game. Herrera's goal is to return to catching as his primary position in 2026. Pedro Pages will serve as St. Louis' main catcher to open the season, with Herrera projected to receive the majority of his early-season at-bats as the designated hitter. The organization does not anticipate determining Herrera's catching workload by the conclusion of spring training.
