Brett Carroll refused an outright assignment to Triple-A and is now a free agent, according to Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (on Twitter). The Brewers designated Carroll for assignment on Saturday to create roster space for Jerry Hairston Jr.
The Brewers acquired Carroll from the Royals in March and made him their Triple-A center fielder. He hit .281/.356/.469 in 381 plate appearances in Nashville then appeared in two games for Milwaukee.
