Cleveland designated Plesac for assignment Sunday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
Plesac was removed from the 40-man roster to make room for Triston McKenzie (shoulder), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list to make his season debut Sunday against Minnesota. Once a mainstay in the rotation for Cleveland, Plesac struggled with a 7.59 ERA in his five starts with the Guardians before he was optioned to Triple-A Columbus early in May. Because of his previous success in the majors, it won't be a surprise if the right-hander draws interest from another organization via trade or a waiver claim, but he's a reclamation project at this stage of his career.
