The Milwaukee Brewers announced on July 26 that they have designated Lance McCullers Jr. for assignment. The move follows McCullers' challenging relief appearance where he allowed five runs in 4.2 innings. Despite this, the Brewers appear to aim for roster manipulation, hoping he will clear waivers to potentially pitch at Triple-A Nashville.
