Drew Avans News: Outrighted to Nashville

Avans cleared waivers Thursday and was sent outright to Triple-A Nashville.

The 29-year-old outfielder lost his 40-man roster spot Sunday following Blake Perkins' return from the IL, but the former will officially stick with the organization after passing through waivers. Avans has gone just 2-for-17 in the big leagues this season but owns a .749 OPS through 106 plate appearances at Nashville.
