The Giants have designated infielder Emmanuel Burriss for assignment, tweets Andrew Baggarly of CSNBayArea.com. In related moves, Aubrey Huff and the newly acquired Marco Scutaro have been activated.

Burriss, 27, hit just .214/.273/.221 in 144 plate appearances this season. The light-hitting second baseman was ranked as the club's tenth-best prospect in 2008 but has not played more than 61 games in the majors since '09.
