The Giants optioned Abner to Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
The left-hander pitched the past two days against the Dodgers and will lose his place in the big-league bullpen after giving up six runs (five earned) on six hits and two walks. Prior to those two appearances, Abner had been pitching pretty well for the Giants across multiple stints in the majors with a 1.93 ERA and 1.14 WHIP despite a 5:7 K:BB across his previous 14 innings.
