Brewers' Tyler Alexander: DFA'd by Milwaukee

The Brewers designated Alexander for assignment Sunday.

The left-hander worked mop-up duty in Saturday's blowout win against the Phillies, and he'll lose his place on the 40-man roster after giving up five runs across one inning. Alexander had some strong performances as a spot starter early in the season and posted a 2.84 ERA in his first four outings, but the 30-year-old has surrendered 21 earned runs over his past 23.2 innings, prompting the Brewers to move on.
