Angels designate C Lucroy for assignment

The Los Angeles Angels designated catcher Jonathan Lucroy for assignment Friday. Lucroy, 33, was reinstated from the injured list Wednesday after he was concussed and broke his nose in a collision with the Houston Astros' Jake Marisnick on July 7.

Lucroy played one game since returning. He went 2-for-4 with a double on July 31 in a 9-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers. The 10-year veteran is hitting .242 with seven home runs and a .681 OPS in 74 games.

The Angels traded for catcher Max Stassi before the trade deadline. Stassi, who reported to Los Angeles on Friday, is hitting .167 in 31 games.
