Brewers' Gus Varland: Designated for assignment

Varland was designated for assignment by the Brewers on Tuesday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Varland has lost his 40-man roster spot after getting torched in a mop-up situation Monday night against the Cardinals. The 26-year-old righty heads into DFA limbo with a career 11.42 ERA in 8.2 major-league frames.
