Rest-of-Season Projections
Laird (back) was activated from the 60-day DL and designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
With Laird's rehab window up and the Diamondbacks not needing another backstop on the roster, the team just went and effectively cut the 35-year-old loose, though there's an outside chance he could accept an outright assignment to the minors. Laird went 8-for-26 with a double and four RBI during his rehab stint after missing the first four months of the season with a back injury.

Rather than turn to the aging Laird when Evan Gattis went down with a back injury in late June, the Braves called up unproven 22-year-old Christian Bethancourt to serve as the primary option behind the plate. While the decision was made mostly for defensive reasons, it spoke to Laird's utter ineffectiveness with the bat, as he hit just .222/.307/.289 over the first three months of the season. Laird finished the year with just a .523 OPS, the lowest mark of his 12-year career, and his 19.8% strikeout rate was his highest since 2007. It seems safe to assume Laird, now 35, will have to compete for a roster spot with another club in spring training, and at this point, it's unlikely that he'll exceed 200 plate appearances in a season ever again.
