The Tigers designated Urshela for assignment Friday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
The Tigers are poised to add prospects Jace Jung and Trey Sweeney to the roster and Ushela is one of the casualties. Urshela has slashed just .243/.286/.333 with Detroit this season while leading the team with 66 starts at third base. The 32-year-old should be picked up by someone, although there's a good chance he'll clear waivers first.
