The Giants have designated infielder Joaquin Arias for assignment, Alex Pavlovic of CSN Bay Area reports on Twitter. His roster spot was needed for the activation of Nori Aoki.
Arias, 30, has struggled to a .207/.207/.276 slash over 59 plate appearances on the year. He’s seen part-time duty in each of the last four seasons in San Francisco, along with four prior seasons with MLB action. All said, he owns a .265/.293/.350 batting line in 1,118 plate appearances.
About time, hopefully he gets picked up by another team

Thanks Arias, but this has been a long time coming, as he was skilled in only one thing in recent years, play good defense at 3B. He was negative at all other positions plus his batting line has dropped year by year since his first season with his. I would have been angry if we lost Adrianza in order to keep Arias here.
