Brewers optioned INF Elian Herrera to Triple-A Nashville.

Claimed off waivers from the Dodgers last November, Herrera hit .268 (11-for-41) with five extra-base hits (one home run) and seven RBI over 21 games this spring. The move clears the way for Jeff Bianchi to make the Opening Day roster as the backup shortstop.

The versatile 28-year-old received just eight plate appearances in the major leagues this summer. But he hit .282 with a .737 OPS in 476 plate appearances at the Triple-A level and can play all over the field defensively. The switch-hitting Herrera will likely be in the running for an Opening Day roster spot next spring in Brewers camp.

Elian Herrera hit his first major league homer and walked Thursday versus the Diamondbacks.

The homer came off All-Star Wade Miley. Herrera has really slowed down at the plate, but because of injuries, the Dodgers have kept him in the lineup. Tonight's homer gave him just his second RBI and fourth run scored since June 15.

Elian Herrera doubled twice and drove in three runs to lead the Dodgers to a 7-6 win over the White Sox on Friday.

The highly anticipated pitcher's duel never materialized tonight, as both Chris Sale and Clayton Kershaw ended up allowing five runs. The game was decided by the pens, and L.A.'s was a little better than Chicago's. Herrera's three RBI gave him 14 since his callup a month ago. He played left field tonight, making his first start at the position. He's started nine times at second base, 10 times at third and four times in center.

Elian Herrera delivered a clutch two-out, two-run double in the eighth inning, leading the Dodgers to a 2-1 victory over Cliff Lee and the Phillies on Tuesday.

Herrera fouled off a pair of tough two-strike pitches before coming through in a huge way for the Dodgers. He finished the night just 1-for-4, but it was easily the biggest hit of the game. He's hitting .304 in 69 at-bats since his promotion and has driven home nine runs. He looks to be cementing himself as the everyday third baseman and could be worth a look in deeper mixed leagues for those who need speed.

Elian Herrera went 2-for-3 with two walks and a stolen base as the Dodgers' leadoff man Thursday.

Instead of starting Tony Gwynn Jr., the Dodgers played Herrera in center field tonight. If he continues hitting, he figures to be a fixture in the lineup for as long as Matt Kemp is out and maybe beyond. Still, it's worth noting that he's already fanned 15 times in 15 games, suggesting that .314 average will come down.

Elian Herrera went 3-for-4 in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Cardinals.

He also scored two runs. And just like that, the 27-year-old is batting .385 in the five games since his first major league call-up.

Dodgers purchased the contract of INF Elian Herrera from Triple-A Albuquerque.

Herrera was playing all over the field for Albuquerque, including third base, and he should receive a good amount of time there while Juan Uribe is on the disabled list. The 27-year-old was batting .358 with a .381 on-base percentage, nine stolen bases, and he stole at least 30 bases in each of the previous three seasons. He's worth a roster spot in NL-only leagues.
