Nationals' Jose Marmolejos: Designated for assignment

Marmolejos was designated for assignment by the Nationals on Thursday, Jorge Castillo of The Washington Post reports.

Mamolejos was cast off the 40-man roster in order to make room for Tommy Milone, who will start Thursday's game against the Marlins. Through 96 games at Triple-A Syracuse this year, Marmolejos has hit .252 with a .663 OPS.
