Hamstring cramp won't sideline Herrmann long

PHOENIX -- After experiencing a cramp Sunday afternoon, D-backs catcher Chris Herrmann said his right hamstring was feeling better and that he was available if needed in Monday's series opener with the Phillies.

D-backs manager Chip Hale said Herrmann's hamstring was "good but not great," so he was going to try and stay away from using him.

Complicating matters is that not only is Herrmann the D-backs' backup catcher, he's also their only backup center fielder so they hope to be able to get him in the lineup at some point this week to give Michael Bourn a rest.
