The Orioles designated Luciano for assignment Thursday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Luciano will enter the waiver process for the second time this winter to create room on Baltimore's 40-man roster for Jose Suarez. Luciano, 24, slashed .214/.335/.413 across 555 plate appearances with the Giants' Triple-A affiliate last season and doesn't have any more minor-league options remaining.
