MIAMI \u2014 Before the Miami Marlins embark on a six-game West Coast trip, Craig Mish of Marlins.TV reported Wednesday that outfielder Austin Slater has been designated for assignment.<\/p>\n

The Marlins signed Slater, 33, on March 25 to a one-year, $1 million contract, two days before the club opened its season at loanDepot park against the Colorado Rockies.<\/p>\n

It was a disappointing showing for the veteran, who finished his tenure with the Marlins with a .174 average, four hits in 23 plate appearances – all singles – four walks and one RBI in 12 games.<\/p>\n

Slater is expected to clear waivers and, because of his MLB service time, has the right to reject an outright assignment to the minor leagues and become a free agent.<\/p>\n

With no minor league options remaining, the Marlins decided it was best to move on, allowing the club to open a roster spot for outfielder Esteury Ruiz (oblique), who has been on the injured list and has yet to play this season.<\/p>\n

Sources say Ruiz will join the club in San Francisco, where the Marlins open a three-game weekend series Friday at 10:15 p.m. ET against the Giants.<\/p>\n
