BOSTON (AP) — St. Louis Cardinals catcher Iván Herrera was unable to put weight on his left leg and had to be helped off the field after running the bases Sunday during the first game of a day-night doubleheader against the Boston Red Sox.
The team announced he had inflammation in his left knee. In an interview on the ESPN broadcast during Game 2, Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said initial testing was negative and Herrera’s knee was structurally sound. But he added the injury will require a stint on the injured list.
“Everything came back clean, which is good," Marmol said. "It could have been a lot worse.”
Herrera went from first to third on a third-inning single into the left-field corner by Nolan Arenado. When Luken Baker fouled to first to end the inning, Marmol and an athletic trainer helped Herrera to the dugout, where he got assistance down the steps to the clubhouse.
He was replaced in the bottom of the inning by Pedro Pagés.
In the second, Herrera made a nice lunging catch for a force at the plate on Connor Wong's grounder to third, keeping a foot on the plate as he dove to his right.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s motorcade took a different route than usual to the airport as he was departing Florida on Sunday due to a “suspicious object,” according to the White House.
The object, which the White House did not describe, was discovered during security sweeps in advance of Trump’s arrival at Palm Beach International Airport.
“A further investigation was warranted and the presidential motorcade route was adjusted accordingly,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement Sunday.
The president, when asked about the package by reporters, said, “I know nothing about it.”
Trump left his Palm Beach, Florida, club, Mar-a-Lago, around 6:20 p.m. for the roughly 10-minute drive to the airport, but took a circular route around the city to get there.
During the drive, police officers on motorcycles created a moving blockade for the motorcade, at one point almost colliding with the vans that accompanied Trump.
Air Force One was parked on the opposite side of the airport from where it is usually located and the lights outside the plane were turned off.
Anthony Guglielmi, the spokesman for U.S. Secret Service, said the secondary route was taken just as a precaution and that “that is standard protocol.”
