DENVER — At the end of a long and challenging spring training, Giants president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi elected to designate outfielder Mac Williamson for assignment.
The decision marked the probable end of the road for Williamson in the Giants’ organization, as the 2012 third round draft pick was placed on waivers and available to be claimed by 29 other clubs.
Each franchise passed on the opportunity.
Six weeks later, Williamson is set to rejoin the Giants as Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reported the club is promoting the power-hitting outfielder to the 25-man roster on Tuesday.
