Giants' Mauricio Llovera: Designated for assignment

Llovera was designated for assignment by the Giants on Saturday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

San Francisco needed to clear out a 26-man roster spot for the return of Luke Jackson (back), and Llovera is out of minor-league options, thus the DFA. The 27-year-old right-hander had allowed just one run in 5.1 innings of relief this season with the Giants.
