Schierholtz was designated for assignment Wednesday, MLB.com reports. With Kyuji Fujikawa activated from the DL, Schierholtz was DFA'd to make room on the roster. He'll head to waivers, and if he's cleared will likely be outrighted to Triple-A Iowa. On the year, Schierholtz is hitting just .192 with 33 RBI and 76 strikeouts in 313 at-bats.
