Viloria, Strotman claimed by Giants, Tinoco outrighted

In our final batch of transactions announcements from the Texas Rangers today, the team has announced that the San Francisco Giants have claimed catcher Meibrys Viloria and pitcher Drew Strotman on waivers, and that Jesus Tinoco has cleared waivers and been outrighted to AAA Round Rock.

In addition, Mitch Garver, Brad Miller, Josh Sborz and Eli White have been officially activated from the 60 day injured list.

With these moves, as well as the ones made earlier today, the 40 man roster now stands at 34.

No surprises here. Viloria got some run as the backup catcher in July and August, and hit a little bit for a while, but then went 0 for 30 with 16 Ks and four walks in his final 35 plate appearances of the year, and was sent back to Round Rock.
