Giants Designate Outfielder Joey Wiemer for Assignment

Outfielder Joey Wiemer was designated for assignment by the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday to make room on the 40-man roster for newly signed pitcher Jason Foley. Wiemer, acquired from the Miami Marlins on November 21 for cash considerations, had a solid rookie season with the Milwaukee Brewers in 2023, hitting 13 home runs in 132 games. However, he played only 48 games over the past two seasons. His tenure with the Giants might not be over, as he could be outrighted to the minor leagues if he clears waivers. San Francisco currently has eight outfielders on its 40-man roster.
