CINCINNATI — The Giants signed Gerardo Parra to a minor league deal this spring to improve their outfield defense and provide quality at-bats from the left side against right-handed pitchers.
After just one month with the Giants, Parra is off the roster.
The Giants designated the National League leader in outfield assists Friday to clear a roster spot for outfielder Mike Gerber, who hit .357 with a 1.057 OPS in 21 games with Triple-A Sacramento.
Gerber was claimed off waivers from the Tigers this winter and was taken off the 40-man roster when the club signed Drew Pomeranz on January 23.
