Career

Herrera signed as an international free agent with the Oakland Athletics in December 2011.[1] In 2014, the Athletics traded Herrera and Jake Goebbert to the San Diego Padres for Kyle Blanks.[2] On August 25, 2015, while pitching for the San Antonio Missions of the Class AA Texas League, he was named the league's Pitcher of the Week.[3] After the 2015 season, the Yankees acquired Herrera from the Padres in exchange for José Pirela.[4]

On April 26, 2016, Herrera pitched eight innings of a joint no hitter for the Trenton Thunder of the Class AA Eastern League, with Jonathan Holder completing the game.[5][6] The Yankees added him to their 40-man roster after the season.[7] Herrera returned to Trenton to begin the 2017 season.[8] He was named the Eastern League's Pitcher of the Week for June 5–11.[9]

The Yankees promoted Herrera to the major leagues on June 14, 2017.[10]
