Padres designated OF Blake Tekotte for assignment. The moves clears him from the 40-man roster. Tekotte, 25, went 2-for-15 (.133) in 11 games with the Padres this season and batted .243/.284/.402 with nine homers and a .686 OPS in 89 games at Triple-A. There's a chance he will pass through waivers unclaimed.
