Herrera (knee) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis on Thursday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Herrera is slated to serve as Memphis' designated hitter for five innings Thursday and then catch for them Friday. The Cardinals haven't revealed how many rehab games Herrera will play, but a return from the 10-day injured list sometime next week seems likely as long as he doesn't suffered any setbacks. Herrera has been shelved since early April with a left knee bone bruise.

Herrera (knee) began a baserunning progression Sunday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Herrera did some straight-line running from base to base and will progress to rounding bases as his injured left knee allows. Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said that Herrera has been able to increase other baseball activities without setbacks, and the catcher has also been taking batting practice and catching pitches from a high-velocity pitching machine. Herrera is just past the two-week mark of an absence that's expected to last at least four weeks, and his recovery seems to be coming along well. The young catcher is dealing with a bone bruise in his knee.

Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Wednesday that the team is hopeful Herrera (knee) can begin a running and catching program this weekend, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Herrera has progressed to hitting in the batting cage and playing catch and could take another step forward in his rehab this weekend. If that happens, the club will have a better idea on a timetable for his return. When the Cardinals announced last week that Herrera had been diagnosed with a bone bruise in his left knee, he was estimated to be facing a four-week recovery timeline.

EDGE Analysis
He has not, however, been cleared to begin baseball activities as he works his way back from a left knee bone bruise.

Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Monday that Herrera will miss at least four weeks after being diagnosed with a bone bruise in his left knee, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Testing on Herrera's knee came back negative for structural damage, but the bone bruise is going to cost the young catcher a month of action, at minimum. Pedro Pages will take on the primary catcher duties for the Cardinals while Herrera is out, and Yohel Pozo has been called up from Triple-A Memphis to serve as Pages' backup.
