Negron was designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks on Wednesday, Jack Magruder of The Sports Xchange reports.

EDGE Analysis

Negron was the roster casualty the Diamondbacks needed to clear a spot on their roster for Jon Jay, who was acquired from the Royals via trade Wednesday. The 32-year-old was hitting .259/.355/.382 across 55 games with Triple-A Reno prior to being cut loose. The utility man will now take a spin through waivers to determine where he'll report next.
