PITTSBURGH (AP) — St. Louis Cardinals catcher
Iván Herrera was placed on the 10-day injured list on Monday
because of a bone bruise in his left knee.
Pedro Pages is expected to get the bulk of the action behind the
plate with Herrera out. Catcher Yohel Pozo was brought up from
Triple-A Memphis, and he was in the starting lineup for the
Cardinals' game at Pittsburgh.
The 24-year-old Herrera got hurt Sunday in the opener of a
doubleheader at Boston. He is expected to be sidelined for four
weeks.
Herrera was off to a hot start in his first season as a
full-time starter, batting .381 with four homers and 11 RBIs in
seven games.
He was unable to put weight on his left leg and had to be helped
off the field after running the bases. He underwent testing,
which was negative.
“It was really good news,” Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said
before the series opener against the Pirates. “The way his knee
buckled, I thought it might be an ACL tear.”
