Herrera (knee) set to begin rehab with Triple-A MemphisApril 30th
CINCINNATI -- When emerging slugger Iván Herrera was forced from the lineup on April 6 with a left knee bone bruise he sustained while running the bases
he was the Cardinals’ team leader in home runs with four
The fact that Herrera is still atop the Cardinals' home run leaderboard -- he was tied with Lars Nootbaar entering play Wednesday -- some 3 1/2 weeks later speaks to how much St
Louis has missed his prodigious power in its lineup
The Cardinals got good news on Wednesday when the 24-year-old catcher was cleared to begin his Minor League rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis
who passed all his running and agility tests in St
was scheduled to travel to Memphis on Wednesday and go through pregame drills with the Redbirds
Herrera will then be at designated hitter on Thursday and catch five innings on Friday when Memphis hosts Louisville
The Cardinals moved catcher Willson Contreras to first base in the offseason to clear up playing time for Herrera, who lived up to that confidence by slashing .381/.458/1.048 with four home runs and 11 RBIs in seven games. Herrera set a bit of history on April 2 when he became the first catcher in the rich history of the Cards to homer three times in a game
Herrera’s momentum was stalled on April 6 when he twisted his left knee while running from first to third on a base hit
He stayed in the game for two more pitches but collapsed when his knee “gave way,” and he needed help from Cardinals coaches to get from third base to the third-base dugout

FAD Magazine covers contemporary art – News
Exhibitions and Interviews reported on from London
From 1948 to 1953, Carmen Herrera lived in Paris
immersing herself in the city’s dynamic postwar artistic community while frequently traveling to New York and Havana
This period marked a decisive shift in her practice
as she moved from biomorphic forms and fevered
gestural compositions to the rigorous geometric abstraction that would define her career for the next seven decades
1948 – 1953—the most comprehensive presentation of her work from this period to-date— examines a young artist deep in experimentation
subsuming the seismic influences of many colliding midcentury art movements
in order to develop her own breakthrough language of painting.
Herrera’s years in Paris were a time of creative freedom and intellectual exchange
particularly through her participation in exhibitions such as the Salon des Réalités Nouvelles
where she exhibited alongside other prominent figures such as Theo van Doesburg
as well as younger artists associated with Venezuela’s Los Disidentes
The city exposed her to key modernist movements such as Bauhaus and Russian Suprematism
which deeply influenced the shift toward her own uniquely minimal language
Herrera began employing shaped canvases while also becoming a pioneer in solvent-based acrylics
is currently the oldest work in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art to use this particular medium
a fact that was discovered through scientific analysis by the museum in 2021
dichromatic abstraction that would later become her signature
The painting’s four symmetrical ochre-colored triangles against a black background prefigure later masterpieces such as Black and White (1952) in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art
exemplifies Herrera’s precision and spatial tension
featuring a striking white dart slashing across a cobalt blue ground
both in its palette and bold linear composition
foreshadows Herrera’s future direction while also underscoring her approach to painting as object
This idea is further emphasized by the use of an artist-made frame
which was intended to prevent a buyer from re-framing the work
This concept evolves in subsequent pieces where she allowed her compositions to wrap about the edges
transforming them into fully three-dimensional forms.
Herrera’s Habana Series marks a pivotal moment in the artist’s development
showcasing her experimentation with gestural abstraction and Informalism during a brief stay in New York in 1950
“Carmen Herrera and the Paris School.” Created in response to transnational developments in Abstract Expressionism
these works contrast with the structured geometric compositions of her Paris paintings
Conquete de l’air (1950) features spontaneous brushstrokes
and vibrant colors applied without Herrera’s typical preparatory sketches
the paintings emphasize a tactile graphic quality with thick
Named after her first solo exhibition at Havana’s Lyceum and Lawn Tennis Club (December 1950 – January 1951)
the series reflects Herrera’s synthesis of Tachisme and Expressionism
blending the gestural techniques of Hans Hartung with those of Jackson Pollock.
The exhibition also features Early Dynasty (1953)
which demonstrates Herrera’s ambition and evolving style
she layers multiple colors and geometric forms
referencing motifs from earlier paintings to create a composition in constant motion
mushroom-like form at the top left echoes a similar shape in other canvasses from this period including Logique Coloree No
This tendency to revisit and refine geometric forms would become a hallmark of her later work
reinforcing her relentless pursuit of visual clarity and balance.
Herrera’s move back to New York in September 1953 presented challenges
as the art world’s gender and racial biases delayed her recognition
the radical developments of her Paris period laid the foundation for the rigorously precise
minimalist works that would define her later career
This exhibition builds on recent institutional recognition of Herrera’s artistic contributions during this period
including her inclusion in Women in Abstraction (Centre Pompidou
2021–22) and Americans in Paris (Grey Art Museum
It also precedes Both Sides of the Line: Carmen Herrera and Leon Polk Smith
a major touring museum show curated by Dana Miller
who also curated Carmen Herrera: Lines of Sight at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 2016
Carmen Herrera, The Paris Years, 1948 –1953, 1st May – 1st August 2025 Lisson 508 West 24th Street
Installation Images: Exhibition view of ‘Carmen Herrera: The Paris Years
She moved frequently between France and Cuba throughout the 1930s and 1940s; having started studying architecture at the Universidad de La Habana
before exhibiting five times at the Salon des Réalités Nouvelles
where she lived and worked until her death in 2022
Herrera’s work was the subject of a large-scale survey, Carmen Herrera: Lines of Sight
which travelled to the Wexner Center for the Arts
Columbus (2017) and Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen (K20)
Herrera premiered her Estructuras Monumentales
massive aluminium structures largely conceived in the 1960s and 1970s
at City Hall Park in New York City in 2019
que te quiero verde (2020) was unveiled at the Blanton Museum of Art in Austin in May of 2023 as part of the museum’s grounds redesign
an exhibition focusing on the last fifteen years Herrera’s output opened at SITE Santa Fe
Herrera’s work was featured in Adriano Pedrosa’s exhibition Straniere Ovunque – Foreigners Everywhere at the 60th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia
Herrera’s work is in numerous public and private collections including the National Gallery of Art
New York; the Whitney Museum of American Art
London; Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen (K20)
Düsseldorf; the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi; El Museo del Barrio
Washington DC; the Smithsonian American Art Museum
Minneapolis; the Museum of Fine Arts Boston; the Pérez Art Museum
Austin; and the Morgan Library & Museum

who has struggled with the auto-immune disease vitiligo
had the chance of a lifetime when she sang to Pope Francis almost a decade ago.CHICAGO -- Valerie Herrera
had the chance of a lifetime when she sang to Pope Francis almost a decade ago
Herrera was 17 when she shared her story with Pope Francis about struggling with the rare skin disorder and turning to music to cope with bullying
virtual town hall with ABC News' David Muir in 2015
As cheers filled the room at Cristo Rey Jesuit High School in Chicago
The pope thanked her with his characteristic warm smile
Now 26 and working as a nurse outside Chicago
Herrera reflects on that transformative moment
I remember his warming and welcoming smile when he asked me to sing for him," Herrera told ABC News
"That's the face I will always remember."

Herrera detailed how the moment with the pontiff inspired her in her career and personal life
saying it "taught me to just to be more of a woman of faith that is here to serve others
that is here to provide care as a nurse."
"I have the responsibility to care for those that are under my care
I have the responsibility to provide and give everything that I have in order to ensure that people are healing
and to provide the love and compassion that family members and patients really need in their time of weakness when they're sick," Herrera said
Herrera also spoke with ABC News Live as Pope Francis' coffin was being taken out of St
Peter's Basilica to the Basilica of St
She thanked the pope again for speaking with her
"I couldn't imagine that it's already been about 10 years," Herrera said
I still can't really believe what had happened."
Herrera said Pope Francis "really did touch my heart

I tried to build a gap but when I saw that we were a group of four or five riders
and try to do my best until the last corner
I knew I had to overtake - I braked later and it was difficult but I managed the last corner and was able to win
I feel good about where we are in terms of the championship
because now we head to round three at Donington
a track I enjoy and where I have good memories.” P2 | Roberta Ponziani | Klint Forward Factory Team“I think we had almost the perfect weekend
Today’s race was a bit tougher than Race 1; yesterday I had more control
I made a good start in Race 1 but today not so much and then I made a small mistake on the last lap and wasn’t able to exploit the slipstream
and of course for the championship; I'm really happy.” P3 | Beatriz Neila | Ampito Crescent Yamaha“I’m happy because I ran a good race
I tried in the last sector to get past Maria but in the end
as the result is important for the championship standings

Herrera injury makes gloomy doubleheader worse for CardinalsMarmol says test results 'came back clean,' but 24-year-old still bound for ILApril 7th
the biggest blow of the long day and night of baseball for the Cardinals came in a completely different manner
Iván Herrera, who made Cardinals’ history when he became the first catcher to mash three home runs in a game on Wednesday
went down with a third-inning injury to his left knee that could cost him time
whose knee appeared to buckle when he briefly broke from third base on a foul pop
needed help from trainers to get back to the third-base dugout
Herrera briefly left Fenway Park to get more testing on the knee
but was moving around the clubhouse well later in the night and the club is hopeful that he might have avoided a serious injury
president of baseball operations John Mozeliak said
and is expected to go on the 10-day injured list on Monday
the Cardinals will call up 27-year-old Yohel Pozo to join the team in Pittsburgh
who came to the Cardinals on a Minor League contract in the offseason
last appeared in the big leagues for Texas in 2021
“It sucks to see Iván go down like that because he’s been hitting so well and hopefully he’ll be able to recover and be back for us pretty soon
maybe even [Monday] … you never know,” said Cardinals starter Andre Pallante
who worked with Herrera through the early stages of Game 1
“He was hitting the ball so well and you just hate to see him lose that [momentum] because of an injury.”
The injury comes at a time when the 24-year-old catcher from Panama appeared to be coming into his own as a high-level hitter for the Cardinals
His four homers and 11 RBI coming into Sunday were the second-most among NL players
his .482 slugging and 143 wRC+ leads all catchers with at least 200 plate appearances since the start of the 2024 season
“He’s been impressive and if you look at his at-bats and it doesn’t matter who’s on the [mound]
he is still taking a very professional at bat,” Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said
If you look at the homer he hit to right field [at Fenway Park on Friday] and then he pulled a couple at home
as the Cardinals were absorbing a Game 2 thumping
Marmol told ESPN that the team got good news on the Herrera front
but we're definitely not looking at anything serious
but it could have been a bad situation."
The good news for the Cardinals is that they can turn the majority of the catching duties over to Pedro Pagés
whose storybook run in big league baseball has been defined by him being ready and taking advantage of opportunities presented to him
He put on a clinic in that department in Game 1 on Sunday
by doubling twice and tying a career high with three RBIs
Sign up to receive our daily Morning Lineup to stay in the know about the latest trending topics around Major League Baseball
Pagés blooped an 0-2 double into right to tie the game
Pagés turned on a 95.4 mph fastball on the inside corner and smashed the ball off the 37-foot Green Monster
The 383-foot smash left the bat at 103.6 mph
“[Pagés] is a guy who takes pride in that [preparation]
he’s prepared for the lineup and watches closely,” Marmol said
Pagés’ work helped the Cardinals take a 4-2 lead into the ninth inning in the opener
but that disappeared when Helsley walked four hitters and surrendered two earned runs for his first blown save of the season
and he needed just 53 opportunities to do so

ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS

Arizona Diamondbacks hitters put up two straight crooked innings at the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday
After Garrett Hampson became the first Diamondback on base with a walk in the third inning
Perdomo turned things chaotic with an RBI double after Jose Herrera singled and stole second
sending Herrera and Perdomo — even with his stumble while rounding third — home for a 3-1 lead

The Diamondbacks found four runs in the next inning
and it came from the same culprits as the third
Josh Naylor and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. went down on five pitches before a Tim Tawa single and Garrett Hampson walk turned into two runs on a Herrera double
It gave Herrera his second multi-hit game of the season and first multi-RBI game since April 2023
Perdomo added more chaos by turning a two-strike count into an infield single that allowed Herrera to score on a misplay
He then stole second and third to get sent home by Carroll on a base hit to end the day of Phillies starter Ranger Suarez
Suarez sat down the first seven Diamondbacks he faced
It was his season debut after starting the season on the IL with a back injury
the Phillies had a 73.8% chance of winning
That number shot the other way to 91% in favor of Arizona by the end of the fourth as it carried a 7-2 lead

PITTSBURGH -- St. Louis Cardinals catcher Ivan Herrera was put on the 10-day injured list Monday because of a bone bruise in his left knee
Pedro Pages was expected to receive 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 was hurt Sunday in the opener of a doubleheader at Boston
He was 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
"It was really good news," Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said before the series opener against the Pirates
BOSTON -- St. Louis Cardinals catcher Iván Herrera was unable to put weight on his left leg and had to be helped off the field after running the bases in the third inning of the first game of a day-night doubleheader against the Boston Red Sox on Sunday
The team announced he had inflammation in his left knee
Manager Oliver Marmol told ESPN's Buster Olney during Sunday night's game against Boston that the injury "could have been a lot worse" and that Herrera and the team avoided a "bad situation." He said that Herrera will go on the injured list
Herrera went from first to third on a single into the left-field corner by Nolan Arenado. When Luken Baker fouled to first to end the inning
manager Oliver Marmol and an athletic trainer helped Herrera to the dugout
where he got assistance down the steps to the clubhouse
He was replaced in the bottom of the inning by Pedro Pagés
In the second, Herrera made a nice lunging catch for a force at the plate on Connor Wong's grounder to third
keeping a foot on the plate as he dove to his right

Written by RotoWire Staff
Herrera (knee) clubbed a three-run home run in his first rehab game with Triple-A Memphis on Thursday
Herrera was retired in his first three plate appearances but then went deep in his final trip to the dish
He will catch five innings Friday and keep building up his defensive workload from there before rejoining the Cardinals' active roster
Here's a news roundup of some noteworthy items over the last few days for the St
The St. Louis Cardinals are in dire need of adjustments and reinforcements during their recent skid
When Ivan Herrera went on the 10-day IL nearly four weeks ago due to a bone bruise in his left knee
A month later and Herrera's four long balls still lead the team despite him not logging a single at-bat in the interim
According to John Denton
Ivan Herrera is starting a rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis on Thursday
Herrera will be the Redbirds' designated hitter on Thursday
and he'll catch five innings on Friday
The Cardinals catcher was cleared to start his rehab assignment on Wednesday following running and agility drills
Louis is in desperate need of reinforcements
as the team that was once near the top of all of baseball in various offensive categories has fallen
the Cardinals were second in the league in wRC+
and they led the league in batting average
They've since fallen to third in batting average
Herrera's eventual return should help rejuvenate a stagnant offense
The St. Louis Cardinals' lone offseason signing has paid major dividends for them already
Right-handed reliever Phil Maton was the club's only free-agent acquisition this offseason
this appears to be one of the best signings this offseason given his price tag
Phil Maton has a 2.63 ERA and 17 strikeouts in 13.2 innings
He's been one of Oliver Marmol's most effective relievers during the first month of the year
and he's helped stabilize and otherwise shaky bullpen
Phil Maton knows that his time with his childhood team may be fleeting
If he continues to play at this level and the Cardinals continue to be out of the playoff picture come June
Maton would be one of the trade market's best options
This isn't a comforting idea to the 32-year-old reliever
“It's a constant reminder that this is baseball and it’s a business,” said Maton of the prospect of being traded down the road
One of the reasons Maton signed with the Cardinals was his familiarity with the organization
Now that he's had the chance to play with his favorite team growing up
That may not be the case if the Cardinals remain on the outside looking in this summer
He's found his home in that spot so far following a cold start to the year
Winn has been excellent over the last 28 days with a .319/.377/.426 slash line
Marmol opted to reward Winn with a bump in the batting order all the way up to the second spot
This is Winn's first time batting second in his career
and Jordan Walker have all tried their hand at the second spot in the lineup
Oli Marmol is trying a different right-handed hitter out between Lars Nootbaar and Brendan Donovan
Here is a look at the 400-foot home run hit by #STLCards SS Masyn Winn, who was batting in the No. 2 spot in the order for the first time in his career. He hit the first pitch he saw -- a 93.2 mph sinker -- for his second HR of the season. It left the bat at 102.9 mph. pic.twitter.com/zyrXon5w5P

In their stunning processional opera, co-creators Paola Prestini and Magos Herrera and director Louisa Proske present the story of Sor Juana
a 17th-century proto-feminist nun whose passion for knowledge pitted her against powerful men – and her own voracious intellect
Many of Sor Juana’s intellectual and political battles are operatic material
but Primero Sueño dramatizes her creative process as a radical act: she reconciled her creative doubts by believing that her work would echo across the ages
honoring her vision as a triumph over the men who burned her books
it is fitting that Prestini and Herrera focus on Sor Juana’s process of writing her magnum opus poem
It is a vital necessity of our existence… Poetry is the way we help give name to the nameless so that it can be thought
The farthest horizons of our hopes and fears are cobbled by our poems
carved from the rock experiences of our daily lives.”
Carved from rock experiences, indeed. The performance is intimately designed for The Met Cloisters
a museum reconstructed from four European structures and perched atop the furthest hill in Manhattan
Governed by the Metropolitan Museum of Art
The Cloisters houses 5,000 works of art from the 12th to 15th centuries
The structure provided a parallel to Sor Juana’s intellectual and emotional passage
Herrera and Prestini gave the stones something modern and magical to absorb
and Quetzalcoatl grounded the surrealism with his own spectacular choreography and associate direction
one of the world’s great jazz and improvisatory vocalists
was fully unleashed to present a stupendous performance
A significant portion of the opera’s artistic and advisory team represent Latin America and Mexico through their roles in government
Through this broad cultural support and expertise
Primero Sueño successfully positions Sor Juana as a contemporary feminist icon while remaining grounded in historical context
and although English subtitles were projected throughout the work
the total linguistic immersion coupled with Mexican Baroque music and mythology makes it clear that Sor Juana is not adapting to us; rather
Proske’s direction utilized the full Cloisters space while shepherding the audience into specific locations
recreating Sor Juana’s experience of inner freedom and external constraints
But perhaps even more than the labyrinthine corridors
Innocent arches became portals for Death; small stone openings became personal portals for the audience-voyeurs; bland frames opened for Misogony
and grand Great Hall doors swung open for apparitions
David Herrera’s sculpture animation and masks
Andrea Lauer’s costume and wearable technology design
and Jorge Cousineau’s varied text and projections created critical counterpoints to the Eurocentric museum setting through shocks of rainbow feathers
The processional and site-specific nature of the work presented an enormous logistical challenge
The mobile lighting and projection teams — directed by Jiyoun Chang and Jorge Cousineau respectively — and audience guide teams were active throughout the entire opera as spaces were utilized multiple times
it was a pleasant and egalitarian experience to witness the production team’s central contribution to the piece
A proscenium presentation of Primero Sueño is hard to imagine; future stagings of this piece will have to reconsider how each new immersive setting can illuminate Sor Juana’s gentle power without overwhelming her story with the environment
The opera’s setting and sonic environment preserved cohesion in a fragmented experience of her story
And perhaps this is the point: we experience the duration of her struggle
and Sor Juana victoriously breaks into our life

New information is being released in the investigation into a London High School staff member accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a student
KRIS 6 News has obtained the arrest affidavit in the case
It reveals the school district learned about the relationship through an anonymous email sent to the district on Saturday
The sender stated they overheard Amy Spence
tell someone she was in a "romantic relationship" with a high school senior
Detectives spoke with London ISD's Assistant Superintendent Alex Salazar on Tuesday
Salazar said he hadn't called police on Monday because they had asked the person who sent the email for more details
The district was waiting to give that person more time before calling the police
Salazar also said he was investigating a separate incident involving a male teacher
and they had enough evidence to terminate him
he informed them that Amy Spence was having an inappropriate relationship with a student
they brought in the student who admitted that "he had been in a sexual relationship with Spence"
He also showed administrators text messages between him and Spence
the student told administrators Spence began pursuing him around Aug
He stated that during an intersession date
she took the student to her home where they had sexual intercourse
Spence was in the Nueces County Jail where she's being held on a $100,000 bond
The Corpus Christi Police Department arrested 49-year-old Amy Spence at her home on Nile Drive at 1:30 p.m
According to the Corpus Christi Police Department
Pence was taken to the City Detention Center and charged with improper relationship between educator and student
A London High School staff member has been fired and is under investigation for having an inappropriate relationship with a high school student
Bill Chapman sent a letter notifying parents of the investigation on Friday
It states the district took immediate action
The letter states due to the nature of the investigation and to protect the privacy of the student involved
the school district is limited in the details it can share
Public Information Officer Kim Womack told KRIS 6 News the district is working with the Corpus Christi Police Department
and the relationship in question was isolated to one student
The district doesn't believe there are other victims

VIA Home > VIA Names Jon Gary Herrera New President and CEO
Herrera is first Latino to lead agency in 46 years
The VIA Metropolitan Transit Board of Trustees voted unanimously Tuesday
to appoint a new President and CEO to lead the region’s mobility provider
Arndt and his team ushered in a time of transformation for the agency that first rolled out service in 1978 and has grown as an industry leader in safety
The much-decorated CEO is retiring after 40 years in the transportation industry and 13 years behind the wheel at VIA
leaving the agency as the “Most Outstanding Metropolitan Transit Authority in Texas,” a distinction earned three times under Arndt’s leadership
has served as VIA’s Senior Vice President of Public Engagement since 2017
overseeing efforts to deliver major milestones
including the historic 2020 initiative to secure additional funding for VIA’s Keep SA Moving plan
He was selected as the lone finalist for VIA’s top job at a special-called board meeting in October
where trustees approved Board Chair Fernando Reyes to negotiate a contract with Herrera that was approved Tuesday
“The Board chose from among three impressive and capable internal candidates
who have each demonstrated a passion for their work and a commitment to carry us forward to the future,” Chairman Reyes said
“Every member of the team is part of Jeff’s legacy here
He will leave VIA stronger than he found it
and with the Board’s sincere thanks for a job done well
Herrera will be VIA’s first Latino President and CEO to lead the state’s second-largest transit service area in the agency’s 46 years
“I applaud the Board’s selection and congratulate Jon Gary
who will be a strong and visionary leader for the agency and the people at VIA who keep San Antonio moving
“Choosing from within the VIA family speaks to the strength of our leadership and the entire team
who together will continue to accomplish great things for the community we serve.”
VIA has long been the least-funded major transit agency in Texas but continues to innovate to deliver more and better service for San Antonio and Bexar County
the agency will break ground on the region’s first Advanced Rapid Transit corridor
connecting major job centers and neighborhoods from the San Antonio International Airport area
through Downtown and to the neighborhood near San Antonio’s historic missions
designed to connect the East and West sides
A fifth VIA Link zone opened Downtown this fall
offering new and affordable on-demand options in the city center
And a Better Bus Plan to improve frequency and reliability on VIA’s core service routes will roll out next year
“I’m honored to be chosen to lead VIA at a time of great progress and change for the city I was born and raised in
and where I have worked to support its continued growth and prosperity,” Herrera said
“Our Board and longtime CEO have charted a path toward a more mobile future for our region
I’m proud to be part of that mission and vision

Herrera's long journey from Panama to stardom in St
BOSTON -- To see Cardinals catcher Iván Herrera now -- a 220-pound bundle of powerful legs
chiseled arms and protruding pectoral muscles – one would likely never guess why he almost gave up baseball as a teen in Panama
“I was kind of fat when I was a kid,” Herrera said somewhat sheepishly
still showing some of the shame from a time when he hardly resembled what he looks like now – and wanting nothing to do with the childhood pictures being posted with this article
I almost decided not to play pro baseball because people were judging me by my body
“It wasn’t even kids saying that to me; it was the [pro baseball] scouts
They didn't want to sign me because of my body
he's too chubby.’ I would hear that a lot
and one day I made up my mind that I never wanted my body to be an impediment to me reaching my goals.”
Herrera did something neither Hall of Famer Ted Simmons nor 1982 World Series MVP Darrell Porter ever accomplished
Past Cards catchers and Hall of Fame announcers Tim McCarver or Bob Uecker never neared that mark
Neither did likely future Hall of Fame catcher Yadier Molina
the catcher Herrera idolized while growing up
Molina influenced Herrera’s decision to sign with the Cardinals
even though other MLB clubs were offering him a larger signing bonus when he was a poor 16-year-old that had just shed 15-20 pounds of extra weight
“Our scouts probably saw him play when he was 14
but you have to remember that with international prospects
they are far from being finished products at that time,” Cardinals assistant GM Moisés Rodríguez said
“A lot of times what you’re trying to gauge is whether they are going to work hard enough and if they have the makeup to prove whatever you may be questioning,” Rodríguez added
But he had good feet and was fairly athletic
And that’s where the makeup came in and our local scout [Damaso Espino] was willing to bet on Iván.”
The Cards were willing to bet on Herrera’s promise because of a work ethic he displayed while trying to clear up the one issue that concerned MLB teams: his weight
bus daily from his modest home just outside of Panama City into the city for three-a-day workouts
When he wasn’t lifting weights or doing sprint work
he was pounding baseballs in the batting cage and working on his receiving behind the plate
the more the pounds came off and scouts saw his potential as a big-time hitter at the MLB level
Herrera’s mission never changed: Make it to St
Louis to try and help himself and his mother
escape the poverty they experienced back in Panama
“[The criticisms from scouts] gave me the mentality of
so I'm going to work my way out of this,’” Herrera recalled
I've just kind of fallen in love with the gym and in love with getting better
“I think that’s where my work ethic really started
I remember taking that bus into the city every morning because I didn't have a car
The sacrifices I made back then helped me get to where I am now
and it still makes me want to get better.”
The Cards are banking that Herrera -- who hit another three-run homer on Friday in Boston -- will use his work ethic to improve his ability to control the running game
He threw out just four of 59 base stealers in 2024 and he’s yet to throw out a runner in seven tries so far in 2025
“I made it here by working harder than anybody and if my arm is struggling
I'm going to work until I get it better,” he promised
Herrera's historic hat trick shows peak of potential for CardsBackstop becomes 1st catcher in 144-year history of Cardinals to hit three homers in a gameApril 2nd
ST. LOUIS -- Days like Wednesday, when Iván Herrera basically used the second and third decks at Busch Stadium as target practice for his record-setting
are ones when the Cardinals dare to dream about a time when the 24-year-old catcher can be in their lineup on an everyday basis
After all, Herrera’s potential as an elite hitter -- as evidenced by Wednesday’s historic performance in a 12-5 win over the Angels -- can be downright breathtaking at times to watch
who has been widely considered to be one of the best young hitters in the organization for years
became the first catcher in the 144-year history of the Cardinals to hit three homers in a game
That’s something neither Hall of Famer Ted Simmons nor World Series MVP Darrell Porter accomplished in St
Hall of Fame announcers and Cards backstops Tim McCarver and Bob Uecker never got near that feat
the icon who Herrera idolized while growing up in Panama and who made him want to be a Cardinal years ago
“It’s amazing to do something that’s never [been] done before,” said Herrera
whose eyes grew misty and his voice wavered because of the emotion he was feeling
“All the grinding that you did during your career … growing up I didn’t have any money or anything and now being able to accomplish these things
“A lot of [Panamanian] kids see me as an idol -- the way that I saw Molina
I’m just trying to be an example for the guys coming up from Panama.”
the Cardinals Minor League Hitter of the Year in 2023
414 and 425 feet with his three home runs and the three exit velocities registered at 101.2
He has only been limited in recent years by his struggles with controlling the running game
He threw out just four of 59 basestealers in 2024 and he’s yet to nab a runner in 2025 in five tries
Herrera has been working in recent weeks at throwing from his knees to speed up his release times
something that gives the Cardinals hope that they can keep his bat in the lineup
and he just carries himself that way,” said Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol
whose team has had at least 10 hits in six straight games -- one shy of a franchise record
Teammate Willson Contreras’ advice to Herrera about his defensive woes: “Control what you can control
… What he’s able to do with his bat is better than anything [defensively].”
Masyn Winn and Contreras broke long hitless skids on Wednesday
but the day will be remembered for Herrera’s accomplishments -- the good and bad
while trying to throw the baseball to pitcher Sonny Gray
Herrera accidentally drilled Angels shortstop Nicky Lopez in the helmet
after hitting the titanic third home run that landed near the top of the third deck
Herrera ran out to the field before being stopped by bench coach Daniel Descalso
Herrera could be forgiven for the bloopers considering the amount of emotion and adrenaline that was coursing throughout his body following the historic performance
has been his strongest supporter for years when he got his big-league shots in 2022
’23 and ’24 – only to be demoted to Triple-A Memphis each time
who regularly hosts watch parties at her home in Panama City
received a call from her son as soon as he left the playing surface
It wasn’t easy and I almost didn’t decide to play pro baseball
I chose the Cardinals over [more] money because Yadier Molina was here
and I still say that’s one of the best catchers in the game
“To the people that loved watching [Molina]
I’m trying to get the defense to that level one day.”
“He hit like .330 the year we played together in Triple-A
and he was way ahead of that league,” Winn raved
“I’m not surprised because that dude catches barrels and he won the Minor League Player of the Year for a reason
Herrera showed how threatening he can be in the batter’s box in a single game on April 2nd. He became the first catcher in franchise history to hit three home runs in a game in a rout of the Los Angeles Angels
The 24-year-old catcher is slashing .381/.458/1.048. He’s swatted four home runs and two doubles in just seven games so far in 2025. The Cardinals offense was humming early, largely thanks to Herrera’s success, but it has slid since. On April 11, the Cardinals were third in the League for runs
the Cardinals are now 11th in the league in runs
Only outfielder Lars Nootbaar has hit more home runs than Herrera on the Cardinals. It took Nootbaar 22 more games than Herrera to pass him
hitting his fifth home run on Wednesday against the Cincinnati Reds
Herrera has had three hits in seven at-bats in two rehab starts
including his home run in his first game back
The Cardinals haven’t committed to a return day for Herrera
he could return to the Big-League Club as soon as next week
Herrera has passed all of his running and agility tests
a significant hurdle for a player who was helped off the field with his injured knee on April 6
his injury was a bone bruise; Herrera should be able to return to full work once he is cleared
The timeline may be accelerated thanks to another catcher injury on the Cardinals
the catcher the Cardinals brought up to add depth when Herrera went to the IL
He was injured in a collision with Reds outfielder T.J
though the Cardinals are likely to be cautious with him for several days moving forward
Herrera hasn’t played enough this season to qualify in most statistics. However, even with limited playing time, he is well above league average in hard hit percentage, bat speed, and exit velocity. The right-handed bat has shown why the Cardinals were so comfortable sliding perennial catcher Willson Contreras to first base
With Herrera batting towards the top of the lineup
the offense in general gives opposing pitchers much more to deal with

Performing on Season 27 of NBC’s singing competition
the pair quietly leaned into their enchanting rendition of “Ceilings,” by Lizzy McAlpine
“We were really excited to sing this song because we could relate to it and it’s beautiful,” Marijic said afterward
I think we have completely different textures and colors to our voices
but they really work together beautifully.”

Kelsea honored you by choosing a really great song
It starts off very exposed and I thought both of you sang so beautifully in those more tender parts
your voice has this wonderful kind of grit and there’s a depth to it that I love
Bublé: I had hoped both of you would join my team
I’m going to make it harder for her by not saying who I think should be the one
I agree with Michael about the lilt in your voice
It was really compelling to hear you navigate all those really difficult parts at the beginning
I think you carry yourself on stage with the presence of a star
Adam Levine: It’s funny how I didn’t turn for you guys
And all I’ve been doing is regretting that
Because the transition for the blind auditions to now is always so surprising
which is a great thing because that means you guys are evolving and getting stronger
Levine: I’ll be as helpful as I can to Kelsea
I would go with Iris just because I am a sucker for tone and there was a moment in that performance where I looked over at Kelsea and I was like
But then you have these edges that just fray off
and then it feels really strong and powerful sometimes
I’ve said this so many times to her that it’s gonna get weird
Ballerini: The vibrato on the end of some of her notes is so …
You’re both so talented and you’re both so bold and brave for being here at the age that you are
Ballerini: Uh … the winner of this battle …
“Loved the harmony,” enthused Bublé after their performance
“Both your voices sounded so great together.”

“But then you have these edges that just fray off
and then it feels really strong and powerful sometimes.”
“There were just so many thoughts in my head,” Marijic said on hearing the decision
“First it was that I was obviously sad and disappointed
I hadn’t felt like I’d given my all yet and really showed what I can do up until that point.”
She and her duet partner had grown close as they competed on the show and lived in the same hotel for several weeks
And they spent days rehearsing their performance
the member of UVA’s a cappella group The Virginia Belles turned to leave the stage
“Then he hits his button,” she said of Bublé
“I just collapsed a little because I was so shocked
He seriously waited for the last minute to do it

“I was hoping that Simone would be available for the steal,” the singer said
I have a dark horse on my team that could be the winner of ‘The Voice.’”

Until the Morning Dew Arrivesby Simone Marijic
I’ve been runningFor so longI’ve forgotten the shape of my faceAnd the name of this song
And I’ve been searchingFor the keyThat little bronze glimmer of freedomBound to set me free
And I thought I found it onceDressed in all corduroyBut truth is not a teenage boyWho loves you like he’s got a choiceAah
And I thought I found it thenHidden in a libraryBut truth is not a book you readLike some pre-written prophecyAah
Until the morning dew arrivesWhen I can say with glowing prideI finally know why I’m alive
I’ll keep running’Til I can’t’Til my brain and my lungs and my heartAre some kind of plant
And I’ll keep searchingFor the keyThat missing
And I thought I found it onceLeaning on a misty railBut truth is not a southern sailCutting ties and blazing trailsAah
And I thought I found it thenBuried in my childhood homeBut truth is not the warmth I’ve knownMy mother’s smile
What’s a girl to do but yearnArms stretched to the sky?Yesterday
“It’s a very special song to me,” she said
“I actually wrote it while I was in the hotel on ‘The Voice.’”
