Chris Herrmann News
Oakland Athletics catcher Chris Herrmann (knee) made his season debut on Tuesday against the Minnesota Twins and he instantly became a fan favorite with one swing of the bat. Herrmann became the first player in franchise history to hit a grand slam in his debut with the organization, with the big homer coming off of Twins RHP Jake Odorizzi. "When you hit a home run, period, let alone a grand slam, it makes you feel like you belong pretty quickly with the team," manager Bob Melvin said. "It was nice to get him off to a good start." Herrmann will be fighting for at-bats behind Josh Phegley, and his fantasy appeal is still limited to deeper AL-only leagues despite the big fly.
Oakland Athletics catcher Chris Herrmann (knee) will need to catch consecutive games during his minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas before he is activated from the 10-day injured list. He was 2-for-5 in a game Monday for Vegas, posting an RBI single while playing all nine innings behind the plate. He did not play in Tuesday's game. With Nick Hundley (knee) recovering from knee surgery with the big club, Herrmann could return and see occasional starts.
Oakland Athletics catcher Chris Herrmann (knee) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday, manager Bob Melvin said. He will play five innings in the first game action back after right knee surgery. Once he is healthy he will force the A's into a tough situation, as they already have catcher Josh Phegley playing well and they have been happy with Nick Hundley, too. Even when Herrmann is able to return, avoid him for fantasy purposes until the murky catcher situation in Oakland becomes more clear.
