The San Diego Padres have designated Pat Neshek for assignment, according to a Tweet by Dan Hayes of the North County Times.

Neshek was claimed off of waivers by the Padres in March 2011.  In 25 appearances for the Padres this season, the right-handed pitcher was 1-1 with 20 strikeouts in 24 2/3 innings.
