X-rays negative on right hand Varland told reporters after Saturday's game against the Padres that x-rays returned negative on his right hand, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact Varland was hit in the hand, face and forearm by a liner off the bat of Manny Machado that registered a 105 mph exit velocity. The right-hander said that his hand took the brunt of the blow and believed he could have continued while acknowledging that could be adrenaline talking. It does appear Varland has avoided a serious injury, but he still should be considered day-to-day at this point.

Logs first career strikeout Varland threw a scoreless inning out of the bullpen Thursday against the Cubs, striking out a batter and allowing two hits and a walk.
Impact Varland struck out Miles Mastrobuoni, the first batter he saw in his MLB career, before getting himself into and out of a bases-loaded situation in the seventh. The 26-year-old reliever has experience starting in the minors and will likely be used in a multi-inning role out of the bullpen this season.

Will be part of Opening Day roster Varland has made the Brewers' Opening Day roster, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact The Rule 5 pick has impressed this spring, posting a 4.15 ERA but a 17:1 K:BB over 8.2 innings. Varland seems likely to be used in a multi-inning relief role and will need to remain on the roster all season or be offered back to the Dodgers.

Opening eyes of late Varland allowed one hit over 3.1 innings and posted a 9:0 K:BB over his last three spring appearances.
Impact Varland allowed at least one earned run in three of his first four exhibition outings, but since of all things "turning down his PitchCom because the batters could hear it" -- as illustrated by Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel -- he has been almost perfect. Varland was selected by the Brewers in the Rule 5 draft and has never pitched above the Double-A level, so his odds of breaking camp with the big club are still long. However, the Brewers may not want to return him to the Dodgers, so he remains in the mix for the time being.
