Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain was designated for assignment on Saturday, the team announced before its game against the Cincinnati Reds.
Cain, 36, was hitting .179 in 145 at-bats while the Brewers offense struggled throughout June. The veteran was just 4 for 26 this month with no walks and seven strikeouts. As a team, the Brewers rank 14th in OPS in the National League in June while falling out of first place after a strong start.
Cain broke in with the Brewers back in 2010 then spent the next seven seasons in Kansas City before returning to Milwaukee as a free agent in 2018.
