David Villar News: Ejected from 40-man roster

The Giants designated Villar for assignment Monday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

The move frees a spot on the active roster for the return of Casey Schmitt (oblique) from the 10-day injured list. Villar has been outrighted off the 40-man roster previously, so if he clears waivers again, he would have the ability to elect free agency.
