Padres' Chase Headley: Designated for assignment

Headley was designated for assignment Saturday, Dennis Lin of The Athletic San Diego reports.

It just hasn't worked out for Headley since returning to San Diego, where he spent the first several years of his major-league career. In 60 plate appearances, the veteran is hitting a mere .115/.233/.135. Still, he did hit a solid .273/.352/.406 last year for the Yankees, so he has a chance to latch on somewhere else as a productive bench bat. Cory Spangenberg will take his place on the roster.
