The Brewers optioned Magnifico to minor-league camp Monday.
Magnifico impressed in three spring outings with the big club, allowing just one runner to reach base over three innings, but he has never pitched above the Double-A level and has options remaining, which made it easy for the Brewers to send him to the minors to open the season. Magnifico throws gas and posted a 1.17 ERA in 42 games with Double-A Biloxi last season, so he could be an option for the big club at some point this season.
