Varvaro was designated for assignment by the Red Sox on Wednesday, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.

Analysis:

Varvaro has struggled with the big league team thus far, as he sports just an 8:6 K:B ratio and has surrendered four runs in his last three outings. If he passes through waivers unclaimed, the righty will likely join Triple-A Pawtucket to serve as organizational bullpen depth.
