Braves' Reid Brignac: Designated for assignment Friday

Brignac was designated for assignment by the Braves on Friday, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports.

Analysis:

Many of the Braves' infield options have been struggling at the plate this season, and Brignac was no different. In his limited at-bats, the 30-year-old could only muster a .207 batting average with three runs and a lone RBI. This performance led the Braves to send him off the 40-man roster, presumably in favor of younger players in the organization. A corresponding move has yet to be made, but Atlanta will likely need a new reserve infielder while Brignac heads to the minors to act as organizational depth.
