Turnbow designated for assignment

Fri 2nd, May 2008

Milwaukee, WI (Sports Network) - The Milwaukee Brewers announced Friday they have designated relief pitcher Derrick Turnbow for assignment.

Turnbow was Milwaukee's closer for two years (2005-2006), having tied the franchise record for saves in a season in 2005 with 39, a record since broken by Francisco Cordero in 2007 (44). Turnbow was 7-1 with a 1.74 earned run average in 2005, but his production has slipped of late.

In eight games this year, Turnbow has a record of 0-1 with a 15.63 ERA. He's surrendered 11 runs on 12 hits in 6 1/3 innings, striking out five and walking 13.

The Brewers signed Turnbow to a three-year contract in 2006, a deal that expires at the end of the 2008 season.

The 30-year-old right-hander is 17-16 with a 4.30 ERA, 265 strikeouts and 65 saves in 257 games with the Angels and Brewers.

Turnbow was originally picked in the fifth round by Philadelphia in 1997 and was claimed off waivers from the Angels in October 2004.

In a corresponding move, outfielder Joe Dillon was recalled from Triple-A Nashville.
