Chris Herrmann hit a two-run home run and scored two runs in a lopsided win over the Reds on Tuesday.

Herrmann drew the start behind the dish and rewarded manager Torey Lovullo with his eighth homer of the year, a two-run bomb, off Reds reliever Tony Cingrani in the fifth inning. The 29-year-old showed some offensive ability in hitting .284 with an .845 OPS last season, but he's disappointed with a .180/.271/.380 line through 69 games to date. Jul 19 - 1:43 AM

Chris Herrmann - C - Diamondbacks

Chris Herrmann had a leadoff homer and two walks Monday against the Phillies.

One of the walks came with the bases loaded. It was Herrmann's first start in the leadoff spot, and it couldn't have gone much better. He entered the day with just a .182 average, though he had walked 15 times in 125 plate appearances. He's going to remain a part-timer, of course.

Jun 26 - 10:53 PM

Chris Herrmann - C - Diamondbacks

Chris Herrmann finished 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and three RBI in Saturday's win against the Phillies.

Herrmann has picked up the pace, going 7-for-23 (.304) with a pair of doubles, a home run and six RBI over the past eight outings. He has raised his average from .151 to .183 just since June 9, but he still has a lot of work to do at the plate before he is viability outside of the deepest of NL fantasy formats.

Jun 25 - 2:23 AM

Chris Herrmann - C - Diamondbacks

Chris Herrmann posted a double, a two-run home run and three RBI with two runs scored across four at-bats in Sunday's game against Milwaukee.

Herrmann has homered in 18 big league games and his team has won all of them, posting a 17-0 record. He has shown occasional power, but he is hitting just .167. Since the return of Chris Iannetta from the concussion disabled list Herrmann's playing time has been rather erratic. He'll serve as the primary backup to Iannetta, but his fantasy appeal is not terribly great due to his subpar average.

Jun 11 - 9:32 PM

Chris Herrmann - C - Diamondbacks

Chris Herrmann has been diagnosed with right hand soreness.

But there are probably some tests coming that will paint a clearer picture. Herrmann tweaked something in his hand on a swing in the bottom of the fourth inning Tuesday and Chris Iannetta replaced him behind the plate in the top of the fifth.

Chris Herrmann left Tuesday's game against the Padres with an apparent hand or wrist injury.

Herrmann appeared to tweak something in his right hand or wrist on a swing in the bottom of the fourth. Chris Iannetta took over behind the plate in the top of the fifth.

Jun 6 - 11:22 PM

Chris Herrmann - C - Diamondbacks

Chris Herrmann finished 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's game against the White Sox.

Herrmann has homered in three consecutive starts, posting four RBI during the span. While Jeff Mathis is superior defensively, Herrmann's bat is coming alive and he is making it hard for skipper Torey Lovullo to keep the backstop on the bench. He remains a No. 2 fantasy option in NL-only leagues with some power upside.

May 24 - 2:07 AM

Chris Herrmann - C - Diamondbacks

Chris Herrmann finished 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's game in San Diego.

Herrmann has back-to-back games with a pair of hits and a home run, showing some signs of life at a position which has been a bugaboo for the Diamondbacks. He finally inched his batting average back over the Mendoza line for the first time since May 2. He remains a No. 2 receiver option in deeper NL-only fantasy leagues, but he could change that outlook if he continues to stay hot.

May 21 - 4:35 AM

Chris Herrmann - C - Diamondbacks

Chris Herrmann socked a walk-off solo home run in the 11th inning of Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Mets.

Facing off with Rafael Montero to lead off the bottom of the 11th inning, Herrmann connected for a long, no-doubt solo bomb to center field to send the fans home happy. Earlier in the game he also doubled and drew a walk. The 29-year-old backstop is hitting just .185/.279/.370 in 30 games this season and offers no fantasy upside, but will have at least one heroic moment to look back on come the end of the 2017 season.

May 17 - 7:33 PM

Chris Herrmann - C - Diamondbacks

Chris Herrmann went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's win over the Nationals.

Getting a rare start behind the plate, Herrmann singled in the second inning before putting the Diamondbacks ahead with an opposite-field, two-run shot in the fourth inning. He also added a walk. Herrmann might be the most intriguing of Arizona's three catchers, but he doesn't play enough to have fantasy value.

May 2 - 11:13 PM

Chris Herrmann - C - Diamondbacks

Chris Herrmann hit his first home run of the season, a two-run shot, in Saturday's win over the Dodgers.

Getting a start behind the dish, Herrmann launched a two-run blast off Dodgers starter Kenta Maeda in the fourth inning. It was his first hit since April 8, a span of 15 at-bats. He'll continue to back up starter Chris Iannetta and find some at-bats at other spots in the field as a super utility type.

Apr 23 - 1:42 AM

Chris Herrmann - C - Diamondbacks

The Diamondbacks are expected to go with three catchers on their Opening Day roster.

The Diamondbacks will use a trio to replace Wellington Castillo, who bolted to Baltimore in free agency. Chris Herrmann, Chris Iannetta and Jeff Mathis will all see action behind the plate this year, though manager Torey Lovullo has yet to determine how the playing time will be distributed. "It's hard for me to predict," said Lovullo. "We'll kind of define that as things unfold." In addition to his catching responsibilities, Herrmann could also see time in the outfield and at both corner infield positions.

Chris Herrmann - C - Diamondbacks

Diamondbacks and C/OF Chris Herrmann avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $937,500 contract.

He earned a raise in his first year of arbitration eligibility after hitting a surprising .284/.352/.493 over 56 games with the D'Backs in 2016. Herrmann should see lots of playing time in 2017.

Chris Herrmann - C - Diamondbacks

Chris Herrmann will undergo season-ending wrist surgery on Tuesday.

Herrmann fractured two bones in his left wrist while sliding into second on a stolen base Friday against the Giants. It's a tough break literally and figuratively for Herrmann, who was just activated from the disabled list four days ago after missing time with a hamstring injury. He'll close out the year with a .284 average, six homers, 28 RBI and four steals in 56 games.

Chris Herrmann - C - Diamondbacks

Batters
Pos	Role	Name
C	1	Chris Iannetta
	2	Chris Herrmann
	3	Jeff Mathis 10-Day DL Diamondbacks placed C Jeff Mathis on the 10-day disabled list with an avulsion fracture in his right hand. Mathis suffered the injury in Monday's series opener against the Mets when he got hit on the throwing hand by a foul tip. If he's done for the season, which seems probable, the veteran catcher will finish with a .213/.276/.322 batting line in 58 games. Aug 22
1B	1	Paul Goldschmidt
2B	1	Brandon Drury
	2	Adam Rosales
	3	Daniel Descalso
SS	1	Chris Owings 60-Day DL Diamondbacks placed INF Chris Owings on the 60-day disabled list with a fractured right middle finger. Owings suffered the injury when he was hit on the hand by a pitch during Sunday's game. He was set to undergo surgery on Monday, with the expectation that he'll miss eight weeks. The move essentially rules him out through the end of September. It's a real shame, as Owings has enjoyed a breakout year. Ketel Marte should see most of the playing time at shortstop once he returns from the bereavement list, but the newly-acquired Adam Rosales will fill in for now. Jul 31
	2	Ketel Marte
	3	Nick Ahmed 60-Day DL Nick Ahmed (hand) went 0-for-2 with a walk in his first rehab game with the Diamondbacks' Arizona League affiliate on Saturday. Ahmed is working his way back from a fractured right hand, which he suffered back in late June. Ketel Marte has played well at shortstop with both Ahmed and Chris Owings (finger) out, but he could slide over to second base when Ahmed returns. Aug 20
3B	1	Jake Lamb
LF	1	David Peralta
	2	Yasmany Tomas 60-Day DL Yasmany Tomas will undergo season-ending core muscle surgery on Tuesday. Tomas first went on the disabled list back in early June and encountered multiple setbacks along the way. It amounts to a lost season for the 26-year-old, as he hit only .241/.294/.464 with eight homers while being limited to 47 games. The Diamondbacks tried to trade Tomas last winter and it wouldn't be a surprise if they try again this winter, although the market for him might not be there. Aug 21
CF	1	A.J. Pollock
	2	Reymond Fuentes
RF	1	J.D. Martinez
	2	Gregor Blanco
Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	Zack Greinke
	2	Taijuan Walker
	3	Robbie Ray 7-Day DL Robbie Ray (head) has been cleared to rejoin the Diamondbacks' rotation next Thursday against the Mets. Ray made it through Thursday's minor league rehab start without any issues, fanning 11 over 4 2/3 innings of two-run ball at High-A Visalia. Prior to his injury, Ray compiled a 3.11 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 151/58 K/BB ratio across 118 2/3 innings. Aug 18
	4	Patrick Corbin
	5	Zack Godley
	6	Shelby Miller 60-Day DL Shelby Miller has hired Kyle Thousand of Roc Nation Sports as his new agent. Miller was previously represented by CAA Sports. The 26-year-old underwent Tommy John surgery back in May and will likely be out until around midseason next year. He's arbitration-eligible for one more year after making $4.7 million in 2017. Aug 22
Relief Pitcher

	9	Randall Delgado 10-Day DL Randall Delgado (elbow) has progressed to throwing from 75 feet. Delgado has missed the last three weeks of action with right elbow inflammation. It's unclear when he'll be ready for mound work and a rehab assignment, but he's coming along. Aug 4
	10	Steve Hathaway 60-Day DL Diamondbacks transferred LHP Steve Hathaway from the 10-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Gregor Blanco. Hathaway is coming back from a shoulder injury. May 5
