Reds' Michael Mariot: Designated for assignment

Mariot was designated for assignment by the Reds on Tuesday.

Mariot made his first major-league appearance in seven years Monday versus the Mariners and allowed one earned run on four hits and one walk over 2.2 innings of relief. Kevin Herget will take his place on the 40-man roster as he returns to the Reds' bullpen ahead of Tuesday night's game against Seattle.
