Here are today's minor moves and outright assignments from around the league…
- The Athletics have outrighted left-hander Andrew Werner to Triple-A Sacramento after he cleared waivers, per Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle (on Twitter). Werner, 26, was designated for assignment in order to clear a 40-man roster spot for Scott Kazmir last week.
- The Mariners have signed catcher Manny Pina to a minor league deal, tweets Bob Dutton of the Tacoma News Tribune. The 26-year-old batted .228/.274/.359 with seven homers in 325 plate appearances between the Royals' Double-A and Triple-A affiliates last season.
Should it be surprising that Werner cleared waivers?
