Padres' Buddy Baumann: Designated for assignment
Baumann was designated for assignment Tuesday, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
Baumann was removed from the 40-man roster in order to clear space for Eric Lauer and his major-league debut. Baumann has pitched one third of an inning for the Padres so far this season, allowing five runs, two of them earned, and walking a pair of batters.
