Herrera retired from baseball to become a coach for High-A Rancho Cucamonga in the Dodgers' system Wednesday, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Herrera spent parts of four years in the big leagues, posting a .253/.306/.360 slash line in 223 games for the Dodgers and Brewers. He'd been out of affiliated baseball since 2016, spending two years in Japan and another in Mexico.

Herrera signed a minor league deal with the Dodgers that includes an invite to spring training, the Los Angeles Daily News' J.P. Hoornstra reports.

EDGE Analysis

He originally signed with the Dodgers back in 2003 when he left the Dominican Republic, so it is a homecoming of sorts for Herrera. The 30-year-old spent the last two years playing for the Brewers, but it will be a lot tougher for him to find playing time with the big league club in Los Angeles.

Herrera was not tendered a contract by the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Herrera (knee) is unlikely to play again in 2015, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Herrera had been serving as the regular third baseman following the departure of Aramis Ramirez to Pittsburgh, but has now been out of action for 10 straight contests. The 30-year-old utility man can now turn his focus to recovery in an effort to put himself in a position to earn a roster spot in the 2016 season.

Herrera (knee) remains out of the lineup Wednesday against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

The Brewers have not elaborated much on Herrera's knee injury. He has not appeared in any of the team's last nine games, and it's uncertain if the 30-year-old will make it back onto the field this season.

Herrera (knee) is not in the lineup Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Herrera hasn't played since Sept. 19 when he collided with outfielder Shane Peterson while both players were trying to track down an errant fly ball. It's unclear if, or when, he will make a return to the Brewers this season.

Herrera (knee) is not in the starting lineup Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Herrera will now miss his seventh consecutive contest as he continues to deal with a knee injury he suffered after colliding with outfielder Shane Peterson last week Saturday. Hernan Perez will get the start in his place and hit sixth in the lineup.

Herrera (knee) is out of the lineup Friday against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Herrera will miss his sixth straight contest after suffering a knee injury from a collision with Shane Peterson in Saturday's contest. Peterson has since returned to the lineup, but Herrera will continue to be sidelined, as Luis Sardinas will get the start at the hot corner.

Herrera remains out of the starting lineup Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Hernan Perez will get the start in place of Herrera, who has been out with a knee injury after colliding with Shane Peterson during Saturday's game.

Herrera (knee) is not in the lineup Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Neither Herrera nor Shane Peterson has found themselves back in the lineup after colliding with one another during a game this weekend. It's fair to question if either player will return this season, however, more news regarding both players' injuries should be available later in the week.
