Replacing rear wheel bearings?

This is for a sealed bearing rear wheel, not a hub with loose ball bearings and cone nuts. My rear axle was showing some play, so I took it apart and found that the bearings are kind of loose, and giving play (see pic). I have since greased the free hub body and the axle, which eliminated the play. The bearing still feels slightly draggy, but not going to affect me in a race. So I'm wondering if I need to replace the bearings or if it's normall for there to be play and that all I needed was to rebuild the fhb.
