Yariel Rodriguez designated for assignment by the Blue Jays

This morning, we wrote a piece noting that the Blue Jays would have some lineup decisions to make.
And now it's begun.
To make room for Tommy Nance, who is returning from the injured list, the Blue Jays have designated Yariel Rodriguez for assignment.
He has therefore been removed from both the 40-man and 26-man rosters.
#BlueJays have DFA'd Yariel Rodríguez to make room for Tommy Nance, who's been activated from the IL.
