The Giants will call up Federowicz from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Giants designated Jae-Gyun Hwang for assignment to make room for Federowicz, who'll put together reserve work as a catcher and perhaps first baseman.

Federowicz was designated for assignment Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is the corresponding move with Buster Posey returning from the 7-day DL. If Federowicz clears waivers, he'll likely wind up with Triple-A Sacramento.

Federowicz was added to the Giant' 25-man roster Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

With Buster Posey headed to the 7-day disabled list, Federowicz will serve as the Giants' backup catcher until he is back. With a capable Nick Hundley ahead of him, it's unlikely that Federowicz will see much playing time during his brief stint with San Francisco.

Federowicz agreed to join the Giants on a minor league deal Tuesday, Chris Cotillo of SB Nation reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old backstop has mashed Triple-A pitching over the past few years, but his career .194 batting line in the big leagues limits his value significantly. As long as Buster Posey is behind the dish in San Francisco, Federowicz will likely have to settle for an organizational depth role.

Federowicz was outrighted to Triple-A Iowa on Monday, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Like he has in past seasons, Federowicz offered virtually nothing at the plate for the Cubs during his limited time in the big leagues. He'll likely continue to be an organizational depth piece moving forward.

Federowicz was called up by the Cubs on Tuesday, Patrick Mooney of CSN Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Federowicz bit the bullet and accepted an outright assignment after being designated for assignment in June, and his patience has been rewarded as he will come up to join the expanded September roster. A .194/.245/.297 career hitter at the major league level, he will merely provide depth behind Willson Contreras, Miguel Montero and David Ross.

Federowicz cleared waivers and will join Triple-A Iowa, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Miguel Montero, David Ross, and now Wilson Contreras on the roster, there was no room to hold Federowicz, especially with his lack of offensive talent. The 28-year-old will head back to Triple-A and will likely remain there barring injuries at the major league level.

Federowicz was designated for assignment Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The Cubs called up Wilson Contreras, who has been hitting .353 with Triple-A Iowa, and in turn demoted the struggling Federowicz. The 28-year-old catcher was only hitting .191 in his 13 appearances this season.

Federowicz is expected to be DFA'd in order to clear space on the roster for Willson Contreras, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear exactly when the Cubs will officially recall Contreras, but with the move imminent, Federowicz will be designated for assignment to clear room on both the 25-man and 40-man rosters. The 28-year-old as appeared in 13 games on the season as the Cubs' third catcher, and he managed just a .192 batting average while striking out nine times in 26 at-bats.

Federowicz went 0-for-1 as a pinch hitter in a win over Arizona on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Federowicz saw a bit of action while Miguel Montero was sidelined in May, but there doesn't seem to be much of a reason for him to still be on the active roster, as he has just two at-bats over the last 10 days. Don't be surprised if he's the next roster casualty when the Cubs need to call someone up.
