Souza was designated for assignment Monday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Souza had been with the team since Tuesday but didn't make the most of his brief opportunity, going 1-for-8 with four strikeouts. As a 32-year-old with a .150/.239/.333 slash line in limited action over the last three seasons, he's unlikely to generate much excitement on the waiver wire. The move clears space for Clayton Kershaw to return from his forearm injury.
