Chris Herrmann went 2-for-5 with an RBI double on Friday, which proved to be the difference maker in the Twins’ 5-1 victory over the Indians.
Herrmann, who is seeing increased playing time due to the injury to Joe Mauer, is hitting .242/.333/.411 with three homers and 15 RBI in his first 35 games. In deeper mixed leagues that utilize two catchers, Herrmann could be worth a look as a short term option until Mauer returns. Aug 23 - 10:10 PM

Chris Herrmann - C - Twins

Chris Herrmann went 3-for-5 with a pair of RBI doubles and a run scored in a 7-6 win over the Tigers on Thursday.

His run-scoring double in the top of the eighth inning ended up being the difference in the ballgame, though one could argue that Austin Jackson should have caught it. Herrmann should see additional playing time while Joe Mauer is sidelined with concussion symptoms, but he's nothing more than a second catcher in AL-only fantasy leagues.

Chris Herrmann - C - Twins

Pinch-hitter Chris Herrmann singled in Doug Bernier in the bottom of the ninth to give the Twins a 4-3 win over the White Sox on Thursday.

Yes, those are the names of major leaguers. Herrmann is at risk of a demotion back to Triple-A when Ryan Doumit returns, though. He's probably going to need a Justin Morneau trade if he's going to be much of a factor for the Twins the rest of the way. He's started 10 games behind the plate and eight in the outfield corners during his two stints with the team.

Chris Herrmann - C - Twins

Twins recalled C Chris Herrmann from Triple-A Rochester.

He'll provide some insurance behind the plate with Ryan Doumit likely to see more starts at DH and in the outfield following the demotion of Oswaldo Arcia and Chris Parmelee.

Chris Herrmann - C - Twins

Twins optioned C Chris Herrmann to Triple-A Rochester.

Herrmann merely provided an additional bat off of the bench while the Twins were dealing with some injuries. He has made a nice impression in a limited sample, hitting .462 (6-for-13) with a homer and four RBI. He's likely to return to the Twins at some point this summer.

Chris Herrmann - C - Twins

Twins recalled C Chris Herrmann from Triple-A Rochester.

Herrmann has hit .238 with a .596 OPS in 43 games this season at the Triple-A level. He is not fantasy-relevant.

Chris Herrmann - C - Twins

Twins purchased the contract of C Chris Herrmann from Double-A New Britain.

He'll provide some depth while Joe Mauer (back) and Ryan Doumit (oblique) are nursing injuries. Herrmann, 24, batted .276/.350/.392 with 10 homers and a .741 OPS in 127 games at the Double-A level this year.

Chris Herrmann - C - Twins

Twins manager Ron Gardenhire indicated Friday that Chris Herrmann will be called up.

Joe Mauer (back) and Ryan Doumit (oblique) are both banged up, so the Twins could use some catching depth. Herrmann, who has never appeared in a major league game, batted .276/.350/.392 with 10 homers at Double-A New Britain this season.
