San Francisco Giants: Joe Panik designated for assignment
The San Francisco Giants designated longtime second baseman Joe Panik for assignment on Tuesday afternoon.
Fans will always remember the amazing double play that Joe Panik helped turn in the 2014 World Series with the San Francisco Giants.
They will also remember the energy that he brought to the team when he was first called up that season, the big home run he hit in Game 5 of the 2014 NLDS, his All-Star appearance in 2015, and his Gold Glove win in 2016.
On Tuesday, his time with the San Francisco Giants came to an end when he was designated for assignment:
ROSTER MOVES:
• LHP Sam Selman optioned to AAA Sacramento.
• LHP Conner Menez and LHP Williams Jerez recalled from AAA Sacramento.
