Maxwell was designated for assignment by the Giants on Tuesday, Amy Gutierrez of CSN Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is pretty surprising to see, as Maxwell has spent the entire season to this point on the active roster, but apparently the Giants have decided the 31-year-old's glove isn't enough to compensate for his bat (.209/.275/.341). Outfielders Angel Pagan and Alejandro De Aza were both added to the team's expanded September roster.
