Blue Jays' Mat Latos: Designated for assignment

Latos was designated for assignment by the Blue Jays on Friday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet reports.

Analysis:

The move comes in the wake of one of the worst outings of Latos' career, in which he allowed seven runs on 10 hits and one walk across four innings Tuesday against the Yankees. Considering that every team is always looking for more starting pitching depth, it will be interesting to see whether another team is willing to take a flyer on Latos despite his notable struggles of late. If not, he will likely report to Triple-A Buffalo if he clears waivers.
