Dodgers' Elian Herrera: Continues slow spring in season opener
Elian Herrera went 0-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in Thursday's season opener with Triple-A Oklahoma City.The 31-year-old third baseman's Opening Day struggles aren't much of a surprise considering his spring training performance. He went 10-for-51 with nine runs scored, four RBI and a 4:9 BB:K rate, and found himself in Triple-A to start the season because of it. That said, it is not outside the realm of possibility for him to make his way to the majors at some point this season if his performance improves.

Hoornstra reports.He originally signed with the Dodgers back in 2003 when he left the Dominican Republic, so it is a homecoming of sorts for Herrera.

Elian Herrera: Non-tendered by Brewers
Elian Herrera was not tendered a contract by the Brewers.Aramis Ramirez's departure opened up regular playing time for Herrera in the second half, but the 30-year-old underwhelmed for the most part before a knee injury ended his season in mid-September. Look for him to at least attend spring training with another club, assuming the knee is back close to 100 percent by then.

Brewers' Elian Herrera, Shane Peterson leave game after collision
Milwaukee Brewers infielder Elian Herrera was taken off the field in an ambulance cart after colliding with outfielder Shane Peterson in Saturday's game against the Reds, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. Peterson's knee crashed into Herrera as the two players were attempting to run down a bloop fly ball near the foul line, prompting both players to leave the game due to injury. Herrera was transported on a back board and taken to an ambulance cart. Hernan Perez replaced Herrera at third base. More information should be available after the game. Herrera's X-rays on his injured knee came back negative, Haudricourt adds. Early reports suggest he may have suffered a deep knee contusion, however further testing will probably provide a more conclusive result. Peterson is suffering from a bruised knee and has at least one laceration on his arm stemming from the collision with Herrera.
