Rio Ruiz Designated For Assignment Tuesday
4 years agoBaltimore Orioles second/third baseman Rio Ruiz was designated for assignment on Tuesday, per MLB.com's Joe Trezza. The 26-year-old had shifted from third base to second after the O's signed Maikel Franco and struggled at the plate this season with a .167/.250/.300 slash line. The O's now have seven days to trade or release Ruiz, and he can remain in the organization if he clears waivers. The team recalled utility man Stevie Wilkerson from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move.
