Brewers DFA veteran reliever after rehab assignment elapses

The Milwaukee Brewers designated reliever Joel Kuhnel for assignment after his 30-day rehab assignment from a right shoulder injury expired without an opportunity to rejoin the major league roster. Kuhnel, who was acquired from Oakland in June, struggled with a 6.52 ERA in 10 appearances before landing on the injured list in early July with rotator cuff tendinopathy. The 31-year-old will head to waivers after exhausting his minor league options, though he posted a strong 1.64 ERA in 11 appearances with Triple-A Nashville during his rehabilitation.
