Kirkman was designated for assignment by the Brewers on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Kirkman appeared in just one game for the Brewers after being claimed off waivers by the team earlier in May, but he was removed from the roster to open up a spot for fellow reliever Jhan Marinez, who was acquired via trade from the Rays. Kirkman's next step will be determined after his waiver period comes to a close.
