Herrera will receive another start at third base Wednesday, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. |
Herrera homered in his third straight game Tuesday, and regular third baseman Aramis Ramirez is still dealing with a sore back, so manager Craig Counsell will stick with the hot hand and give Herrera his sixth straight start at third base Wednesday night. Herrera is hitting just .228 this year, but he owns a .782 OPS on the season thanks to four home runs and three doubles. |

Herrera went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer that put the Brewers on top for good in the win over the White Sox on Monday night. |
Aramis Ramirez continues to be sidelined by a back injury, which was enabled Herrera to take over as the team's interim third baseman. Monday's start was the fourth consecutive game that Herrera has been in the lineup for Milwaukee, and he's now delivered a home run in back-to-back games after going deep on Mother's Day against the Cubs. |

Herrera will play second base and hit second in Tuesday's game against the Reds. |
It's not exactly clear how Herrera and Hector Gomez will split the second base duties in Scooter Gennett's absence, but Herrera will jump right into the lineup after being called up Tuesday morning. Herrera owns just one home run and four stolen bases over 141 career MLB games, but he did hit .288 against right-handers last season, and posted a 1.144 OPS through 11 games with Triple-A Colorado Springs this year. |
Tue Apr 21 2015 | 13:09 | Herrera called up from Triple-A Colorado Springs on Tuesday |
Herrera was called up from Triple-A Colorado Springs on Tuesday. |
Herrera was called up to take the roster spot of Scooter Gennett, who was placed on the disabled list with a hand injury. Herrera hit a sizzling .422 (19-for-45) through 11 games with Colorado Springs, but he will likely fill a utility role with the big club and does not figure to see regular at-bats. |

Thu Apr 2 2015 | 12:38 | Herrera returned to minor league camp Thursday |
Herrera was returned to minor league camp Thursday. |
Herrera made a strong run at a spot on the Brewers' Opening Day roster, but his 2015 campaign will begin with Triple-A Colorado Springs. Herrera appeared in 69 games with the Brewers last season and can play both the infield and outfield, so he figures to be among the first options when the Brewers need to bring up a player from the minors. |

Herrera is 7-for-23 (.304) with a home run and five RBI through 15 spring games. |
Herrera has hit the ball well this spring, but the Brewers know what they have him in after he appeared in 69 games for the club last season, and he has received limited opportunities while the team evaluates other players. With that being said, he remains in the discussion for a utility spot on the Opening Day roster. |

Herrera has been designated for assignment to make room for the newly signed Neal Cotts. |
Herrera served as a bench bat and occasional fill-in at several positions for the Brewers in 2012, but doesn't have the plate discipline or power to make any real impact on offense. His 2.1 percent walk rate was one of the ten worst in the league (minimum 100 plate appearances). The 29-year-old could be picked up on waivers for a team looking for a utility player capable of covering pretty much any position in the infield or outfield. |
Sun Jul 13 2014 | 17:23 | Herrera has five-hit day in win over Cards |
Elian Herrera had a big day on Sunday, going 5-for-5 with three runs scored in a win over the Cardinals. |
Filling in for Jean Segura, Herrera had as many hits Sunday as he had in his previous 24 at-bats spanning back to mid-June. The career day raised his batting average from .232 to .276. When Segura returns from the Dominican Republic, where he's tending to some family issues, Herrera will likely find himself back at Triple-A. |
