The San Diego Padres have designated pitcher German Marquez for assignment, making room for newly acquired left-hander Robbie Ray from the San Francisco Giants. Marquez, who appeared in 13 games for San Diego after 11 seasons with the Colorado Rockies, posted a 5.26 ERA this season. The decision follows a disappointing performance from Marquez, who allowed 55 hits in 53 innings. Ray and new right-hander Casey Mize, acquired from the Detroit Tigers, are expected to play significant roles in the Padres' quest for postseason success.
