Herrera cleared waivers and has been outrighted to Triple-A Colorado Springs. Herrera, who was DFA'd last week to make room on the 40-man for Neal Cotts, will receive an invite to major league spring training as a non-roster player.

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.

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.
