The Milwaukee Brewers have traded right-handed pitcher Marcos Diplan to the Minnesota Twins in exchange for cash. The announcement was made by President of Baseball Operations and General Manager David Stearns.

Diplan, 22, was designated for assignment on Monday to make room for right-handed pitcher Jordan Lyles on the 40-man roster. He went 3-4 with a 4.99 ERA and 3 saves in 30 games / 5 starts at Double-A Biloxi this season (57.2ip, 47h, 34r, 32er, 37bb, 63k, 6hr, .221ba). Diplan was acquired by Milwaukee as part of a four-player trade with Texas on January 19, 2015.
