Diamondbacks designated 1B/OF Pavin Smith for assignment.

Diamondbacks’ fans have been clamoring for this move for months as Smith has struggled to a horrifying .141/.236/.192 slash line with just one homer, six RBI and an 18/10 K/BB ratio over 89 plate appearances. It’s possible that he could attract some attention on waivers. Ryan Waldschmidt was recalled from Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move to take his spot on the Diamondbacks’ roster.
