Adduci was designated for assignment Thursday.

Analysis:

Adduci was injured much of the 2014 season, playing just 44 games with the Rangers and batting a paltry .168/.228/.467 with one home run and eight RBI over that span. He was a casualty of Thursday's deadline that required teams to add players eligible for the Rule 5 Draft or risk losing them.
