Jose Herrera

Herrera shores up Pittsburgh’s catching depth at Triple-A Indianapolis with Christian Bethancourt joining the big-league club. The 29-year-old has bounced around the last couple years after getting into 190 games for the Diamondbacks from 2022-2025.

Teams around the league are trying to trim down their rosters as Opening Day looms for next week, so expect nearly every team to make multiple transactions each day over the weekend. Neither Herrera nor Gray was expected to crack the Opening Day roster, so these moves don’t really move the needle for fantasy purposes.

Herrera fortifies Texas’ organizational catching depth after hitting .187/.285/.259 with two homers and 17 RBI in 204 plate appearances over 57 games this past season with the Diamondbacks. The 28-year-old backstop spent the first 11 seasons of his career with Arizona. He’ll serve as an emergency option for the Rangers next season behind Danny Jansen and Kyle Higashioka.

The 28-year-old backstop saw plenty of playing time with the Diamondbacks due to Gabriel Moreno missing significant time with a hand injury but wound up hitting just .187/.285/.259 with two homers and 17 RBI in his 204 plate appearances. He’ll assuredly latch on someplace on a minor league pact and can continue to be ignored for fantasy purposes.
