Wade was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday.

The 27-year-old was acquired from the Twins in early February but won't open the season in the majors. Wade had 113 plate appearances for Minnesota over the past two seasons but has struggled with a .211/.336/.347 slash line. His demotion likely clears the way for Darin Ruf to make the Opening Day roster as a reserve first baseman/corner outfielder.
