The Milwaukee Brewers have released reliever Eric Gagne (pictured) so he can rehab his sore shoulder at a private facility in Arizona.
Gagne hadn't pitched in a spring game and developed shoulder soreness. An MRI detected damage to the rotator cuff and labrum. Gagne would have cost the Brewers $1.5-million in base salary if he made the big league roster. He was a disappointment last season, finishing with 10 saves in 17 chances and a 5.41 ERA.
