Gus Varland Sent to Timber Rattlers for Rehab

GRAND CHUTE, WI – The Milwaukee Brewers have announced Gus Varland will be with the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers for a rehabilitation assignment starting Thursday, April 27. The Timber Rattlers host the Beloit Sky Carp this week at Neuroscience Group Field at Fox Cities Stadium.

Gus Varland is a week away from being back in the Brewers bullpen if all goes right. He’ll pitch for the @TimberRattlers on Thursday and Saturday before going to Colorado with the big league club.

The Brewers selected Varland in the Rule 5 draft last December from the Los Angeles Dodgers system. He has been on the Brewers Injured List since April 16 with a contusion to his right hand. Varland was hit in the hand and face by a 105-mph line drive off the bat of Manny Machado in a game at San Diego on April 15.

Varland, who pitched against the Timber Rattlers as a member of the Beloit Snappers in 2018 when he was a member of the Oakland Athletics organization, made his Major League debut with the Brewers this season. He had appeared in six games as a reliever out of Milwaukee’s bullpen with no record and a 2.70 ERA in 6-2/3 innings.

The Timber Rattlers begin a series with Beloit tonight at 6:40pm. The Sky Carp are in town through Sunday, April 30. To purchase tickets to any of the games in the series, please use this link.
