After his minor league rehab assignment ended, Yoshi Tsutsguo was designated for assignment by the Dodgers, the team announced on Wednesday.
Tsutsugo spent the maximum 20 days on a minor league rehab assignment for position players while on the injured list with a strained calf. In 15 games with Triple-A Oklahoma City, the 29-year-old Tsutsugo hit .138/.227/.310 with three home runs.
The 20 days expired after Tuesday’s game.
The Dodgers planned to use the full allotted time for Tsutsugo’s rehab assignment.
“It’s more of a longer-term play,” manager Dave Roberts said on June 22. “Just to kind of make sure he’s back, with a calf that’s healthy. And it also allows for him to take some at-bats, and use this time to get healthy, and kind of work on his stroke.”
