The Tigers designated Short for assignment Tuesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

The 30-year-old was added to the big-league roster Sunday and will quickly be removed with Zach McKinstry (hip) coming off the injured list. Short appeared in two games during his brief time with the Tigers and went 0-for-3 with a strikeout while also committing an error.
