Blue Jays' Jimmy Paredes: Designated for assignment

Paredes was designated for assignment Monday, Sportsnet's Barry Davis reports.

Paredes logged 15 at-bats over seven games with the Blue Jays, but the utility infielder will now be in search of a new home should he refuse his designation to the minors. A relatively useful piece for the Orioles in 2015, Paredes and his .257/.294/.373 career slash line should be able to catch on elsewhere in due time. Ryan Tepera was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo to take his spot on the roster.
