Aumont has elected free agency following his designation for assignment over the weekend. Aumont was DFA'd on Saturday, and he'll opt to become a free agent rather than return to Triple-A. The 26-year-old has experienced major control issues this season (6.0 BB/9 at Triple-A), and he'll have prove he's capable of keeping the ball over the plate before a club gives him another look at the major league level.
