Herrera went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and a second run scored in Thursday's 8-2 win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Herrera has receded to a backup role behind James McCann lately. Despite a drop in playing time, Herrera is 5-for-18 with three RBI and three walks over six games in August. Adrian Del Castillo is also in the mix at catcher and designated hitter, making it tougher for Herrera to carve out a decent share of starts. On the year, Herrera has struggled to a .193/.293/.267 slash line with two homers, 17 RBI, 21 runs scored and six doubles over 198 plate appearances.

Herrera is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Herrera will hit the bench for the fourth time in five games and appears to be falling into the shorter side of a timeshare at catcher with James McCann, who started in three of the previous four contests. Both McCann and Herrera will be left out of the lineup for the series finale in Detroit, however, as Arizona hands Adrian Del Castillo -- who had been serving as the club's primary designated hitter -- his first start of the season at catcher.

Herrera is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Herrera and James McCann had alternated turns behind the plate in each of the previous nine games, but McCann will collect a second straight start Sunday. The two backstops will likely be deployed in a relatively equitable timeshare until Gabriel Moreno (finger) returns from the 60-day injured list.

Herrera is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Herrera and James McCann have now made four starts apiece behind the plate over the Diamondbacks' last eight games, but the playing time could eventually tilt in the latter catcher's favor. Since he signed with Arizona on June 23, McCann has posted a 1.259 OPS over five games, while Herrera has slashed just .176/.300/.176 over that same period.

Herrera is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
After starting in eight of the Diamondbacks' last nine games, Herrera will receive a breather for the day game following a night game. Though he's been operating as the Diamondbacks' No. 1 catcher since Gabriel Moreno (finger) landed on the injured list last Thursday, Herrera could end up settling into a timeshare with the newly signed James McCann once McCann gets more acclimated with the Arizona pitching staff. McCann will make his team debut behind the dish Wednesday, forming a battery with starting pitcher Zac Gallen.

Herrera could face competition as the primary catcher with the Diamondbacks expected to sign veteran backstop James McCann, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Herrera has started six of the last seven games since Arizona placed Gabriel Moreno (hand) on the 10-day injured list. The Diamondbacks' catchers are a combined 4-for-23 during that stretch, and Herrera is batting .176 this season. The 35-year-old McCann may not know Arizona's pitchers as intimately as Herrera, but he has vast experience in handling pitchers and in-game strategy while bringing more pop to the position.
