Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Herrera opened 2024 in Triple-A but eventually reclaimed the top backup catching job during the second half of the season. He's one of four catchers on the 40-man roster and will compete once again to be the backup to Gabriel Moreno. Prospect Adrian Del Castillo and veteran Rene Pinto are also in camp. Del Castillo, who exhibited offensive prowess during a brief callup last year, still has work to do defensively. That benefits a defense-first backstop like Herrera, who has been with the organization since 2014 and is familiar with the staff. There's not much to be excited about with a stick in Herrera's hands. He has a.537 career OPS in 130 games over the last three seasons. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Diamondbacks in March of 2025.
Resting for series finale
Herrera is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.
Analysis
After starting in eight of the Diamondbacks' last nine games, Herrera will receive a breather for the day game following a night game. Though he's been operating as the Diamondbacks' No. 1 catcher since Gabriel Moreno (finger) landed on the injured list last Thursday, Herrera could end up settling into a timeshare with the newly signed James McCann once McCann gets more acclimated with the Arizona pitching staff. McCann will make his team debut behind the dish Wednesday, forming a battery with starting pitcher Zac Gallen.

Stat Review
How does Jose Herrera compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
Herrera unexpectedly won the backup catcher job in 2023 thanks to Carson Kelly starting the year on the IL with a forearm injury. It was the second consecutive season he suited up on Opening Day. Once Kelly returned in June, Herrera was on the Triple-A to MLB shuttle for rest of the season. He finished with 124 plate appearances, and his .557 OPS never threatened to usurp the starting gig from Gabriel Moreno. Herrera enters spring training as the top backup, but will have competition after the Diamondbacks signed Tucker Barnhart and gave him an invite to camp.
