Herrera re-signed with the Nationals on a minor-league contract Dec. 1.

EDGE Analysis

After electing free agency in November, Herrera was on the open market for three weeks before determining that his best option was returning to the Nationals organization for a second season. The 27-year-old right-hander previously had a cup of coffee in the majors with the Yankees in 2017, but he's otherwise spent the past five seasons in the minors. He tossed 129 innings at Double-A Harrisburg in 2022, logging a 4.40 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 114:34 K:BB.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander was placed on the 60-day disabled list before camp ended in March and will likely be sidelined until at least July while he continues to build up strength in his right shoulder. Herrera has made just two big-league appearances in his career, so it's expected that he'll be optioned to Triple-A Round Rock or Double-A Frisco once he's activated.

Herrera was put on the 60-day disabled list Wednesday, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Herrera is hoping to get medical clearance this week to accelerate his throwing program. The right-handed starter, who was acquired from the Yankees in November, is expected to begin the season on the disabled list.

Herrera was traded to the Rangers on Monday for Reiver Sanmartin, and was added to the 40-man roster.

EDGE Analysis

This is the deadline for team's to add players to their 40-man roster as protection from the Rule 5 draft, and the Yankees obviously wanted to use Herrera's spot for another player, so they got what they could for him. He is 22 and made two starts at Triple-A last season, so he could offer pitching depth for Texas at some point in 2018, likely working in a swing man role. Herrera has a 3.26 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 200 strikeouts in 231.2 innings at Double-A. Look for him to report to Triple-A Round Rock.

Herrera was sent back to Double-A Trenton on Friday, Brendan Kuty of NJ.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Herrera made just one appearance with the Yankees before being shuttled back to the minors, where he'll likely continue to develop as a starter. He could be back with the big club soon if he continues to dominate in the minors. Bryan Mitchell was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding roster move.
