Baseball: Brewers designate reliever for assignment

Associated Press

MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Brewers have designated struggling relief pitcher Derrick Turnbow for assignment.

Turnbow, an All-Star closer in 2006, is 0-1 with a 15.63 ERA in eight games this season. He gave up six runs in two-thirds of an inning at Chicago Wednesday.

To take Turnbow's place, Milwaukee recalled outfielder Joe Dillon from Triple-A Nashville.
