The inspiring Scott Kazmir comeback story has, at least temporarily, come to a halt. On Saturday, a day after Kazmir made his second start of the season, the San Francisco Giants designated him for assignment.
Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle was first to report the news.

Kazmir was a great story when he decided to make a comeback — apparently at the behest of a friend at a barbecue — five years after throwing his last MLB pitch.
