Omar Infante designated for assignment by Royals
The Kansas City Royals designated second baseman Omar Infante for assignment.
Whit Merrifield figures to see the majority of the at-bats at second moving forward, now that Infante is out of the picture. He will likely pass through waivers unclaimed.
Infante's overall slash this season is .239/.279/.321 with no home runs and a .261 wOBA. Our models projected him to hit .237/.284/.341 with four home runs and a .268 wOBA over the rest of the season, prior to his designation.
