Rotowire
The Cardinals are expected to recall Herrera from Triple-A Memphis on Sunday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Willson Contreras suffered a fractured finger on Saturday and will require a stint on the injured list, opening up a spot on the 26-man roster for Herrera. The 24-year-old will mix in with Pedro Pages behind the dish while Contreras is sidelined. In 191 big-league plate appearances this season, Herrera is slashing .279/.340/.378 with three home runs and four stolen bases.
Herrera (shoulder) has gone 8-for-19 with a home run, a stolen base and two walks in five games since returning to the Triple-A Memphis lineup Tuesday.
Herrera was held out for a little over a week earlier in the month while recovering from a left shoulder sprain, but he's since been given the green light to return and has looked dialed in at the dish. He's now slashing .345/.457/.448 through eight games in August.
