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.

Diamondbacks' Jose Herrera: Loses work to Moreno
Herrera is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.
Herrera had supplanted Carson Kelly as Arizona's No. 1 catcher in early August, but even though Kelly has since been released, Herrera has lost hold of his spot atop the depth chart after Gabriel Moreno was activated from the injured list Aug. 13. He'll sit out for the fifth time in six games while Moreno gets another turn behind the dish.

Diamondbacks' Jose Herrera: Sits Sunday, but serving as top catcher
Herrera is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

Diamondbacks' Jose Herrera: Brought up from minors
The Diamondbacks recalled Herrera from Triple-A Reno on Sunday.
He'll be back with the big club as a replacement on the 26-man active roster for fellow catcher Gabriel Moreno (shoulder), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. Herrera will likely serve as the primary backup to Carson Kelly for however long Moreno is ultimately sidelined.

Diamondbacks' Jose Herrera: Moves down to Triple-A
The Diamondbacks optioned Herrera to Triple-A Reno on Monday.
Herrera broke camp with the Diamondbacks out of spring training as the No. 2 catcher behind Gabriel Moreno while Carson Kelly was shelved with a fractured forearm. Though Moreno has dominated the playing time behind the dish, Herrera has been serviceable when called upon, compiling a .255/.344/.327 slash line over 68 plate appearances. With Kelly returning from the 60-day injured list Monday and ready to handle duties as Moreno's top understudy, the Diamondbacks didn't have room on the active roster for Herrera as a third catcher. The 25-year-old should get the opportunity to play on a more frequent basis in Reno.

Diamondbacks' Jose Herrera: Returns to lineup
Herrera (head) is starting at catcher and batting ninth in Sunday's game against the Padres, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
Herrera was removed from Wednesday's 14-5 loss to the Cardinals after taking a foul ball off his helmet, but he'll be back in action for Sunday's series finale while No. 1 backstop Gabriel Moreno gets a day off. Starting pitcher Drey Jameson will form a battery with Herrera.

Diamondbacks' Jose Herrera: Exits after foul ball to helmet
Herrera was removed from Wednesday's 14-5 loss to the Cardinals in the bottom of the sixth inning after taking a foul ball off his helmet while he was behind the plate, the Associated Press reports.
Gabriel Moreno came off the bench to replace Herrera, who went 1-for-3 with a strikeout prior to departing. The Diamondbacks will presumably put Herrera through concussion tests before deciding whether he's available to stay on the active roster as a backup to Moreno or if the team will need to delve into the minor-league ranks to find a new No. 2 catcher.

Diamondbacks' Jose Herrera: Swipes bag in win
Herrera went 2-for-3 with an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 11-6 win over the Dodgers.
Herrera, who made his third start in 10 games, got caught up in the Diamondbacks' aggressiveness on the base paths, as he had one of five successful thefts. He's not known for that behavior, and it was just Herrera's 10th steal over nine seasons in professional ball.

Diamondbacks' Jose Herrera: Grabs backup catcher job
Herrera will be on the Diamondbacks' Opening Day roster, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.
Carson Kelly's fractured forearm has cleared the path for Gabriel Moreno to open the 2023 season as the primary catcher in Arizona, and for Herrera to back him up. Herrera is considered a strong defender, but the 26-year-old batted just .189/.250/.207 over his first 47 major-league games in 2022.

Diamondbacks' Jose Herrera: Healthiest backstop on 40-man
Herrera could figure into the catching mix for Arizona after Carson Kelly (forearm) was removed from Monday's Cactus League game, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.
Kelly, projected as Arizona's primary catcher, was hit by a pitch Monday, and the prognosis is pending. He joined presumed backup Gabriel Moreno (hand) on the shelf, although recent reporting suggests it's a minor injury. That leaves Herrera as the healthiest catcher on the 40-man roster. He appeared in 47 games last season, posting a .189/.250/.207 line over 124 plate appearances.

Diamondbacks' Jose Herrera: Stuck in No. 2 role
Herrera is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.
Herrera had started two of the Diamondbacks' previous three contests, but he's still the team's clear No. 2 catcher on the depth chart behind Carson Kelly, who re-enters the lineup for the series finale. Unless he enters Sunday's contest off the bench, Herrera will finish July with a .150/.261/.150 slash line.
