Cleveland designated Lavastida for assignment on Sunday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
Lavastida will cede his spot on the 40-man roster to lefty Logan Allen, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Columbus ahead of his scheduled start Sunday versus the Marlins. Assuming he clears waivers, the 24-year-old backstop could report back to Double-A Akron in the Cleveland organization. Lavastida was hitting .188 with no home runs and two stolen bases through his first 12 games with Akron this season.
