Cardinals officially release infielder Ruben Tejada

The St. Louis Cardinals have released infielder Ruben Tejada.

What It Means:

The Cardinals designated Tejada for assignment on May 28, and he passed through waivers untouched. He is a free agent now that the team has officially cut him loose.

The 26-year-old infielder was hitting a paltry .176/.225/.235 in 40 plate appearances with St. Louis, but he figures to be able to find a new team in relatively short order.
