Brewers designated RHP Tim Dillard for assignment.
He was cleared in order to make room for right-hander Marco Estrada on the 40-man roster. Dillard, 26, spent the majority of the '09 season with Triple-A Nashville, compiling a 4.51 ERA and 1.45 WHIP in 24 starts, but was torched in two relief appearances with the big club, allowing six runs in 4 1/3 innings.
