Florimon was designated for assignment by the Pirates on Sunday, Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.

EDGE Analysis

Florimon and Jason Rogers both lost out to Cole Figueroa for the final spot on the Pirates' bench, though Rogers was at least able to hang on to his 40-man roster designation. It's possible that another team will claim Florimon off waivers given his ample experience at the big-league level over parts of the last four seasons, but as a glove-first player, he's best suited for a backup role and doesn't figure to provide much fantasy value if given the opportunity for extended at-bats.
