Ryon Healy has opted for free agency, refusing an outright assignment by the Milwaukee Brewers off their 40-man roster to their Triple-A affiliate at San Antonio.

Healy, 28, played just four regular-season games for Milwaukee this year and batted .143 with no homers, runs or RBIs.

He had the right to refuse the outright assignment because he has at least three years of major league service.
