I think we all seen this coming after trading for Wigginton yesterday.
Astros designated third baseman Morgan Ensberg for assignment.
Ensberg has been available in trade talks since the winter, with apparently no one especially interested in gambling on a rebound. The Astros will keep trying to move him now, but he'll probably end up becoming a free agent next month. The 31-year-old Ensberg hit .232/.323/.384 in 224 at-bats. He was actually at .319/.373/.447 in 47 at-bats this month, but that's partly because he was playing only against lefties. Jul. 29 - 12:54 pm et
