Scott Kingery cleared waivers and has been outrighted to Triple-A Salt Lake after being designated for assignment. He has the right to reject this assignment but is unlikely to do so, keeping $200K remaining on his salary.

In Triple-A, he has performed better, with a .256/.317/.424 line this season.
