Nationals' Jefry Rodriguez: Designated for assignment

Rodriguez was designated for assignment by Washington on Tuesday, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

Rodriguez has struggled in August, allowing home runs in three of his five appearances while posting a 9.45 ERA across 6.2 innings. It's possible he attracts interest on waivers from teams in need of relief help, but it would not be at all surprising if he goes unclaimed given his recent struggles.
