Younginer was reassigned to minor-league camp Monday, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Younginer threw 4.2 shutout innings over five Cactus League games for the Giants this spring. However, he still allowed plenty of baserunners, as he gave up five hits and two walks in that time. He'll likely provide organizational pitching depth at Triple-A Sacramento this season.

Braves' Madison Younginer: Called up by Braves
Younginer had his contract selected from Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.
Younginer recorded 14 saves at the Double-A level this season before getting a promotion Thursday. He's since made one appearance for the Gwinnett Braves, but he walked three and allowed three unearned runs over two innings. The Braves are confident in the young right-hander, however, so they will give him his first ever call to the majors, where he will provide bullpen depth.

Braves' Madison Younginer: Records first save of season
Younginer recorded his first save of the season Friday, giving up a hit, in a 4-2 win over Triple-A Norfolk.
Younginer pitched 3.1 scoreless innings this spring, giving up a walk and striking out two. The 6-4 righty is coming off his best minor league season, as he posted an 8-4 record, 3.03 ERA, and 1.177 WHIP over 77.1 innings last year between Double-A Portland and Triple-A Pawtucket. This will be the first year that he is expected to spend an extended period of time at the Triple-A level, so he may remain there all season. However, if he performs well in the closer role, a promotion to the majors is not out of the question.
