His transaction log at MLB.com indicates he elected free agency rather than accept an assignment to Tacoma. They also reinstated infielder/outfielder Brendan Donovan from the 10-day injured list. Outfielder Stuart Fairchild has been designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Fairchild, 30, was added to the roster three days ago when Luke Raley was placed on the injured list. If Fairchild clears waivers, he will have the right to elect free agency.
