David Villar News: Clears waivers

Villar cleared waivers Saturday and was sent outright to Triple-A Sacramento, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Villar will officially remain in the Giants' farm system after being DFA'd by the team Tuesday. The 28-year-old slashed .260/.361/.441 across 482 plate appearances in Triple-A last season, and he's likely destined to spend most of 2025 in the minors now that he no longer has a 40-man roster spot.
