Programming note: Giants-Royals coverage starts today at 4:30 p.m. with Giants Pregame Live on Comcast SportsNet Bay Area.

Dan Uggla’s tenure with the Giants came to an official end Friday when the club gave the veteran second baseman his unconditional release.

Uggla had refused an assignment to Triple-A Fresno, where the Giants had hoped he might go to get at-bats and try to fix his swing. He played just four games for the Giants and was 0 for 11 with a walk, a run scored and six strikeouts while committing three errors.

It was the first time a Giants position player went hitless in a season (with at least 12 plate appearances) since Calvin Murray went 0 for 12 in 2002.

Uggla was designated for assignment on Aug. 1 along with outfielder Tyler Colvin, who cleared waivers and was outrighted to Fresno on Friday.
