Ivan Herrera Set for DH Debut After Elbow Surgery Recovery

St. Louis Cardinals' Ivan Herrera (elbow) is slated to make his Grapefruit League debut Thursday as a designated hitter. Herrera underwent surgery in November to remove bone spurs from his right elbow. While he's cleared to bat, his return to catching remains uncertain. The elbow issue and defensive concerns previously limited him to DH for the final months of last season, and he's now attempting to return to the catcher position.
