Giants' Aaron Altherr: Exiled from 40-man roster

The Giants designated Altherr for assignment Sunday.

Altherr joined the Giants a week ago after being claimed off waivers from the Phillies but couldn't crack San Francisco's outfield ranks, logging just one at-bat during his time with the club. The Giants will hope to keep Altherr around as a depth option at Triple-A Sacramento if he goes unclaimed while being exposed to waivers again.
