Overview
- The team optioned left-hander Jake Bennett and reassigned catchers Nate Baez and Ronald Rosario, right-handers Osvaldo Berrios, Hobie Harris, Vinny Nittoli, Devin Sweet, and left-hander Jeremy Wu-Yelland to minor-league camp.
- Following the moves, 58 players remain in big-league camp, including 18 non-roster invitees.
- None of the players moved out of camp were viewed as realistic candidates for the Opening Day roster.
- Bennett, 25, is Boston’s No. 7 prospect after arriving from Washington and reached Double-A last season with a 2.56 ERA in 10 outings.
- With roughly two weeks left in camp, competition for the 26-man roster continues as World Baseball Classic participation and roster limits shape upcoming decisions.
