Gonzalez was designated for assignment by the Astros on Saturday, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Gonzalez is currently playing at Double-A Corpus Christi, and the move will take him off of the 40-man roster, clearing a spot for a first base prospect A.J. Reed, who will be promoted this weekend. The 23-year-old is hitting just .158 through 44 games, registering 40 strikeouts in 146 at-bats.
