Krauss was designated for assignment Thursday, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.

Analysis:

Krauss received regular starts against right-handed pitchers over the past few weeks, but he struggled to the tune of a .143/.211/.286 slash line in 35 at-bats. The playing time he was getting will likely go to some combination of Kirk Nieuwenhuis, Alfredo Marte and Grant Green.
