Ryan McKenna: Cut loose by San Francisco

The Giants released McKenna on Saturday.

Claimed off waivers from the Orioles in May, McKenna appeared in four games with the Giants before he was designated for assignment and outrighted off the 40-man roster less than two weeks later. McKenna had slashed .224/.304/.343 over 79 plate appearances at Triple-A Sacramento before the Giants elected to cut ties with the 27-year-old.
