Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks

Loses out in roster battle
The Diamondbacks optioned Herrera to Triple-A Reno on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Herrera won the backup catcher job behind Carson Kelly for the Diamondbacks going into last season, but the team wound up using Daulton Varsho more than expected at the position. That meant Herrera often operated as the third catcher when he wasn't back at Triple-A Reno, and he managed a lowly .457 OPS at the plate when he did get his chances. Varsho has since been traded to the Blue Jays, but now Herrera has Gabriel Moreno to contend with. He's unlikely to see much action in the majors in 2023 and even if he did it's not a profile for fantasy managers to get excited about.
