WASHINGTON (AP) - Infielder Wil Cordero was designated for assignment Wednesday by the Washington Nationals, who also claimed outfielder Kenny Kelly off waivers from the Cincinnati Reds.
Cordero, 33, was batting .118 (6-for-51) with two RBIs in 29 games with the Nationals this season. He went 0-for-14 as a pinch-hitter and 0-for-18 with runners in scoring position.
Cordero entered the season, his 14th in the majors, with a career .275 average, 122 home runs and 564 RBIs. He joined the Nationals in the offseason for his third stint with the franchise, but he's been hampered by left knee problems.
