The SF Giants have sent catcher Andrew Knizner outright to Triple-A Sacramento after he cleared waivers, clearing a spot on the 40-man roster. Knizner has the right to reject the minor league assignment and elect free agency, which is considered the expected outcome. The move reduced San Francisco's 40-man roster to 34 players.
