The Astros have designated 26-year old lefty reliever Xavier Cedeno for assignment. Cedeno pitched in 5 games (0 starts) for the Astros this year and he was 0-0 with a 11.37 ERA and a 2.68 WHIP. He gave up 10 hits and 7 walks while whiffing 3 batters in 6 innings for the Astros this year, as he was pretty awful for them. Cedeno has now pitched in 52 games (0 starts) in his first three years in the majors (all with the Astros) and he is 0-1 with 1 save, a 6.00 ERA and a 1.74 WHIP. It will be interesting to see if Cedeno makes it through waivers, as he is a young lefty reliever.
