Kansas City Royals designate lefty starter Jonathan Sanchez for assignment
The Kansas City Royals designated Jonathan Sanchez for assignment on Tuesday, cutting the struggling starter one week after Melky Cabrera, the player they traded away to get the pitcher, was named MVP of the All-Star game.
The Royals designated infielder Luis Hernandez for assignment on Saturday to make room on the 40-man roster for recently signed outfielder Scott Podsednik and right-hander Noel Arguelles.
