Cardinals Pitcher Designated For Assignment

The Cardinals have designated Nick Wittgren for assignment.

Wittgren has appeared in 29 games for the Cardinals this season, and it's fair to say that he struggled. On the year, he has a 1-0 record to go along with a 5.90 ERA. That just wasn't enough for him to keep his spot on the 40-man roster, so now the Cardinals will either trade or place him on waivers by the end of the week.

In 287 career games, Wittgren sports a 19-15 record and 3.96 ERA.
