The Milwaukee Brewers signed former Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Elieser Hernández to a one-year major league contract on June 6.
On Wednesday, the Brewers designated him for assignment.
Hernández failed to impress in a four-game stint after being claimed off waivers from the Dodgers. It was the inability to hold on to a 6-0 lead on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Angels that set the stage for his DFA. He posted a 3.00 ERA in four appearances (six innings) with Milwaukee.
The Dodgers designated the 29-year-old for assignment and then outrighted him from their 40-man roster.
