The Baltimore Orioles designated former Phillies outfielder Christian Pache for assignment.

Pache, along with right-handed pitcher Seranthony Dominguez, were sent to Baltimore in the deal that brought Austin Hays over to Philadelphia.

The 25-year old showed little promise at the plate during his MLB career, which includes stops in Atlanta and Oakland before coming to Philadelphia. He hit  just .202 with nine RBI for the Phillies this year in 118 plate appearances and is a .181 hitter with six home runs and 42 RBI over his five MLB seasons.

Pache as a very solid defender playing center and left field for the Phillies during his time in Philadelphia.

The Phillies acquired Pache from the Oakland Athletics in exchange for minor league pitcher Billy Sullivan

He was 1-for-1 in three games for Baltimore.

Technically, the Phillies could bring him back, as he will now get a chance to be claimed by other teams on waivers.

I'd take a pass on bringing Pache back, but I guess anything is possible.
