Granted release Tuesday
Ruggiano opted out of his minor-league deal with the Giants and will become a free agent, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
Ruggiano struggled in his 63 plate appearances with the Giants this season (.217 average) and was subsequently designated for assignment in early June. The 35-year-old initially accepted his assignment to Triple-A but has ultimately decided to opt out of his deal. He'll look to pick up with another organization if possible.

Ruggiano spent most of the early portion of 2016 in the minors and suffered from a couple different injuries once he got called up, limiting his 2016 campaign to just 56 games and only nine in the majors. The 34-year-old actually looked surprisingly good at the plate, albeit in limited work, hitting .333 with a pair of home runs in 24 at-bats combined between the Rangers and Mets. Ruggiano's season was cut short, though, as he went under the knife for shoulder surgery in mid-September, which could put his availability for the beginning of spring training in question. The outfielder found a home with San Francisco on a minor league deal. Even though he's hit pretty well over the past few seasons when given the chance, he'll likely be a fourth or fifth outfield option if he's able to crack the Giants' 25-man roster out of the spring.
