My educated guess is that they let Chriss go after his 2nd 10-day is up while making it clear to him that they'd love to have him back as soon as they have an open roster spot. He may get another 10-day contract somewhere else, but I think the chance of someone scooping him up with a guaranteed deal is still pretty low. So by the trade deadline he'll be back.
