Dodgers designated LHP Ted Lilly for assignment. Lilly had just been activated from the DL Wednesday after missing most of the last two months with a chronic neck issue. With a $13.5 million salary and major injury issues, he won't draw any interest on waivers. The Dodgers will just have to eat his salary, but they have better uses for a roster spot at this point. Lilly will be 38 before spring training next season, and his days as a useful pitcher are likely over.
