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.
