Cardinals' Ruben Tejada: Designated for assignment Saturday

Tejada was designated for assignment by the Cardinals on Saturday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Analysis:

Tejada dealt with a quad injury early in the season which kept him sidelined until April 19. He never appeared to fully regroup upon his return, as he's just 6-for-34 at the plate this season. Tejada will be subjected to waivers, and if he is unclaimed, he may accept an outright assignment to Triple-A Memphis.
