Giants' Ramiro Pena: Designated for assignment

Pena was designated for assignment by the Giants on Saturday, Alex Pavlovic of CSN Bay Area reports.

Manager Bruce Bochy was forced to lean on Pena to fill a fairly regular role throughout July (52 at-bats), but with Joe Panik returning from the DL and Eduardo Nunez coming aboard from Minnesota, Pena was deemed expendable. Pena has hit .299/.330/.425 in 91 plate appearances this season and could appeal to a team in need of infield depth.
