Dodgers designate struggling Alex Guerrero for assignment (Yahoo Sports)

The Los Angeles Dodgers have designated Alex Guerrero for assignment, essentially giving up on a player signed to a $28 million, four-year contract in October 2013. Los Angeles has 10 days to trade Guerrero or place him on unconditional release waivers. The 29-year-old Cuban shortstop has struggled to find a defensive position and hit .233 with 11 homers in 106 games with the Dodgers last season.
