The Twins also designated outfielder Kyle Garlick for assignment. Varland gets the boot from Minnesota's starting rotation after allowing six runs on nine hits (two homers) while walking two and striking out four in 4 1/3 innings in his last start over the weekend against the Detroit Tigers. He's given up a total of 17 runs in 15 innings over his last three starts to raise his ERA on the year to 5.30 (5.51 FIP) and a WHIP of 1.36 with 16 walks and 54 K's in 56 frames over 10 starts. The 25-year-old will make way for the return of veteran right-hander Kenta Maeda (triceps).
