Now, if he's on the major league roster and sucking and I want to DFA him other teams get a shot at claiming him. If no one wants him then I can try to assign him to AAA. If he has enough service time he should be able to reject that and become a FA.

But if he does not decide to reject, I would think he could be placed on a minor league roster without having to be moved back on to the 40-man roster.
