Shocking Lineup Change: Cardinals’ Herrera to Play Left Field
As the St. Louis Cardinals prepare for a potentially chaotic trade deadline, manager Oliver Marmol has made a bold move with his lineup card. In a surprising twist, 25-year-old Iván Herrera will be batting second and starting in left field against the Miami Marlins on Monday.
A New Position for Herrera
Herrera, who has only ever played catcher and designated hitter in the majors or minors, will be stepping out of his comfort zone and into the outfield. This is a significant change for the young player, as his only experience outside of his usual positions was eight appearances at first base in the Caribbean Series.
Pozo and Burleson Fill In
To make room for Herrera’s new role, the Cardinals will be relying on Yohel Pozo at catcher and Alec Burleson at designated hitter. This means that both of the positions Herrera typically plays will be filled by other players on Monday.
A Bold Move for the Cardinals
This lineup change is a bold move for the Cardinals, who are known for their consistency and stability. But with the trade deadline looming, Marmol is clearly willing to take risks in order to secure a win against the Marlins. Only time will tell if this unexpected lineup will pay off for the Cardinals.
