Padres' Luis Sardinas: Designated for assignment

Sardinas was designated for assignment Sunday.

The roster move comes on the heels of the Padres claiming infielder Chase d'Arnaud off waivers from the Red Sox on Sunday. Sardinas hasn't exactly hit the lights out this season, as evidenced by his .163 average, no extra-base hits and single RBI across 49 at-bats, making him an easy choice to bump off the 40-man roster for the incoming d'Arnaud. He'll likely report to Triple-A El Paso if he clears waivers.
