• Outfielder Joe Benson, who was designated for assignment on Monday to make room on the 40-man roster, has cleared waivers and been assigned to Triple-A Round Rock.

• Round Rock infielder Mike Bianucci was the final Pacific Coast League Player of the Week. He was 9-for-19 with three home runs and eight RBIs in five games. Round Rock's season ended Monday.

• Joey Gallo finished with 40 home runs this season, 38 with Class A Hickory and two with the Arizona Rookie League Rangers on a rehab assignment. That was the most in the Minors and he is the recipient of the Joe Bauman Award. That goes to the Minor League player with the most home runs and he will be honored at the Winter Meetings.
