Ivan Herrera Set for First Spring Catching Start Sunday After Elbow Surgery

Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol announced Thursday that Ivan Herrera (elbow) will make his first Grapefruit League start at catcher Sunday. Herrera, 25, is making his spring debut Thursday as a designated hitter. He was limited to DH last season due to elbow bone spurs, which were surgically removed in November. While he's attempting to return to catcher this season, it's considered unlikely he will be used full-time at the position for the St. Louis Cardinals.
