Tejeda, a former top prospect in the Rangers' system, signed a minor league deal with the Cardinals back in November and wasn't able to crack their Opening Day roster. He'll head to free agency and look for a new opportunity at the outset of the minor league regular season.

Tejeda didn't record an at-bat until the ninth inning on Sunday, but had himself a nice moment in his one trip to the plate, taking a Max Scherzer offering out of the park for a solo homer to lead off the frame. Over the course of 94 plate appearances in the bigs these past two seasons, Tejeda has struggled to a forgettable .220/.245/.385 batting line. 

Tejeda, 23, was sent outright to Triple-A by the Rangers near the beginning of November, and rather than report there, he elected free agency. He has a new home, and will get a chance to win a bench job with St. Louis. In 94 plate appearances over the last two seasons, Tejeda has hit .220/.245/.385, so there's not much fantasy relevance here. 

Tejada was cast off the Rangers' 40-man roster earlier this week and will search for a new organization after refusing an outright assignment to Triple-A Round Rock. The 23-year-old shortstop has hit .220/.245/.385 with three homers and five steals across 94 plate appearances at the big-league level over the past two seasons.
