What happened: Catcher Andrew Knizner cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday. The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster heading into the offseason.

Why it matters: Knizner was eligible for arbitration, making the outright an administrative move to manage payroll and roster flexibility. The reassignment allows the organization to reset depth ahead of winter roster deadlines.

What to watch: Knizner can accept the minor-league assignment or elect free agency. Further 40-man adjustments will follow ahead of the non-tender deadline.
