Cardinals' Taylor Motter: Pushed off 40-man roster

The Cardinals designated Motter for assignment Sunday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Motter saw action in seven games with the Cardinals and slashed .222/.300/.333 over his 20 plate appearances. He'll cede his spot on the roster to Paul DeJong (back), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and is expected to fill the same utility infield role that Motter previously occupied.
