LF Chris Herrmann (hamstring) was a late scratch Sunday.

C/OF Chris Herrmann was a late scratch from the starting lineup Sunday due to a slight hamstring injury, although he was used as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning. He struck out. Herrmann, who was to start in left field, is hitting .293/.358/.511 with six homers and 27 RBIs in 133 at-bats. "We have to be very careful, because the last thing we want to do right how is lose another guy to the DL," manager Chip Hale said. "Right now, it's just a day-to-day deal." Herrmann's athleticism is such that he is the team's backup center fielder with OF Socrates Brito (toe) on the disabled list.

LF Chris Herrmann (hamstring) was a late scratch Sunday.

C Chris Herrmann (hamstring) was held out of Monday's game after suffering his injury Sunday. Herrmann, who was 7-for-18 with a double and three RBIs on the 10-game road trip, also is serving as the Diamondbacks' backup center fielder while Chris Owings (plantar fasciitis) and Socrates Brito (fractured toe) are on the disabled list. "When he feels good enough, I'd like to get him out there in the outfield," Arizona manager Chip Hale said.

UT Chris Herrmann is in line for more at-bats. After going 1-for-1 on Thursday, he is hitting .348 (8-for-23) with one double, one homer and four RBIs in his past nine games. Since May 1, he is hitting .341 (28-for-82) with two doubles, three triples, four homers, 18 RBIs and a .989 OPS. Manager Chip Hale said, "Chris is earning more at-bats with his play; there's no doubt about it. The great thing about 'Herm' is I can put him in the outfield, I can put him at first base. Times are coming that he's going to get those chances, but also (he will) catch a little bit more, too. Especially up here (in Denver), I'd like to split (the four-game series) two and two (between Hermann and Welington Castillo). It's always tough on the body when you come up here." Herrmann entered the game in the eighth and lined a single off the glove of Carlos Estevez, the second of three singles during Arizona's game-winning rally in the ninth.

C Chris Herrmann walked twice and drove in a run on a groundout Wednesday, when he again showed his speed. Herrmann stole second base on a hit-and-run play in the second inning, his third stolen base of the season. He had one steal in 142 games with the Twins the previous four seasons. Herrmann also has three triples this season after getting one with the Twins.

C Chris Herrmann matched his career high with three hits -- all singles -- Sunday against the Cubs. He snapped a five-game hitless streak.

C/OF Chris Herrmann did not start Monday, although he entered to play first base in the eighth inning to give 1B Paul Goldschmidt two innings off. Herrmann has 11 hits in his last 26 at-bats with a triple, a homer, seven walks and a 1.165 OPS. "This guy is earning at-bats, and we need to get him more," D-backs manager Chip Hale said. Hermmann, who has made 16 starts at catcher and four in the outfield this season, is likely to catch Tuesday, Hale said.

C Chris Herrmann continues to earn more playing time by hitting. He homered and drove in three runs Friday night, giving him five homers and 19 RBIs for the season, surpassing his previous career highs in both categories (4 HR, 18 RBI with Minnesota in 2013). Herrmann, who has five RBIs in his last two starts against St. Louis, also cut down Stephen Piscotty stealing second to end the third.

C Chris Herrmann made his first start of the season in right field. It was his 21st career start and 37th game at the position. Herrmann hit two homers Sunday at Atlanta -- his first career multi-homer game -- and became the first player with multiple homers in a game on an 0-2 count since Houston's Lance Berkman on July 9, 2000 against Kansas City. Manager Chip Hale said he wanted to keep Herrmann's bat in the lineup, so he put the backup catcher in right field with OFs Yasmany Tomas and David Peralta ailing.

C Chris Herrmann hit two home runs in a game for the first time in his career. The second came in the 11th inning and provided the margin of victory against Atlanta. He has homered in three of his last five starts. Herrmann did not play in the first two games of the Atlanta series, but he is now 4-for-9 on the road trip.

C Chris Herrmann, the Sunday afternoon regular for the Diamondbacks, started in place of Welington Castillo.

C Chris Herrmann made the most of his usual Sunday afternoon start, singling twice including an RBI single in the sixth against a defensive shift and off the glove of a diving Nolan Arenado at third. Hermann, making his eighth start of the season, finished the Diamondbacks' road trip with five hits in 12 at-bats, two homers and seven RBIs.

C Chris Herrmann hit homers in consecutive at-bats as a starter when he belted a two-run shot in the second inning off Cardinals RHP Michael Wacha. Herrmann reached out and one-handed a changeup for his homer. "He just got the barrel on the ball, and we've seen the ball jump here a little bit, haven't we?" Arizona manager Chip Hale said. St. Louis manager Mike Matheny added, "You know that happens here. Pretty good pitch, and he goes down and gets it." Herrmann hit a three-run homer to cap a five-run eighth inning in a 7-1 victory over Pittsburgh on Saturday. All four of Hermann's hits have been for extra-bases, two doubles and two homers.

C Chris Herrmann tied a career high with four RBIs, including a three-run homer, on Saturday. His RBI double in the second inning snapped a 1-for-20 skid to start the season. "It's been driving me crazy," Herrmann said. "I play every now and then, and if I have a bad game I kind of sit on it for a while. Luckily, I have 'Mags' (hitting coach Dave Magadan) and 'Gracie' (assistant hitting coach Mark Grace) to talk to about hitting. We've been working on some adjustments." Hermmann has played sparingly in part because of starting C Welington Castillo has a team-high five homers. "We know his bat works," Arizona manager Chip Hale said. "That's why we traded for him. The last two, three, four days, Dave's been working with him, and it's starting to come. Unfortunately, he is going to be played sporadically, so we have to find a way to keep his swing solid."

C Chris Herrmann was acquired by the Diamondbacks from the Twins on Nov. 10 in exchange for 1B Daniel Palka. Herrmann, 27, hit .146/.214/.272 with two homers and 10 RBIs in 45 games for Minnesota this year. He batted .260/.364/.342 with

Herrmann was recalled by the Twins on Thursday, Phil Miller of the Star-Tribune reports.

Herrmann struggled in his first stint with the Twins earlier this season, batting .156 over 72 plate appearances. He didn't fair much better at Triple-A Rochester in July (.206/.307/.286) but has gotten off to a hot start in August, going 6-for-16 with three walks. The Twins designated Eric Fryer for assignment and optioned Tyler Duffey in a pair of corresponding moves Thursday.

Herrmann was optioned to Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday, MLB.com's Rhett Bollinger reports.

Herrmann was hitting .156 with one home run in 72 plate appearances this season, which marks the fourth year in a row that he has split time between the minor leagues and the majors. Eric Fryer was called up as a corresponding move.

Herrmann is in the lineup Saturday against the Brewers and will bat sixth as the Twins' catcher.

Kurt Suzuki is getting the day off Saturday, which gives Herrmann his first start since June 21. He'll face Brewers righty Matt Garza, against whom he is 0-for-4 lifetime.

Herrmann got the start behind the plate Saturday and connected on a solo shot, his first home run of the season.

He's done very little at the plate this season in limited at-bats, and Herrmann has been used almost exclusively as a catcher rather than seeing time in the outfield. While the position flex in theory increases his fantasy value, unless he starts getting hits when he does play, he's not worth a roster spot in most formats.
