Robinson Cancel has been designated for assignment to make room for Gary Sheffield. Sheffield made his return from the disabled list on Sunday, but did not start. He eventually entered the game in the sixth inning and went 0-2.
Pat Misch, the lefty who saw his first action in two weeks today, was optioned back to Triple-A Buffalo to make room for Nelson Figueroa. Figueroa will make a spot start Monday against Dan Haren. He had been up twice previously, starting one game.
