Designated for assignment The Rays designated Padlo for assignment Tuesday. Impact Padlo made his big-league debut earlier in the year but didn't make much of an impression in limited action, going 1-for-12 with eight strikeouts. He's also struggled significantly at the Triple-A level, slashing .194/.270/.379 with a 33.0 percent strikeout rate in 69 games for Durham. That might be enough to dissuade other teams from claiming him, though he's just 25 years old and was considered at least a fringe prospect heading into the year, so it's definitely possible at least one team decides he's worth taking a chance on.
