Overview
- The Red Sox released infielder Brendan Rodgers from his February minor-league deal, a move recorded on MLB’s official transaction log.
- He injured his right shoulder on a late-February dive during camp, and doctors recommended surgery that ended his roster bid.
- Boston’s infield has settled with Marcelo Mayer at second base and Andruw Monasterio in a utility role after the Caleb Durbin trade.
- MassLive reported the sides could revisit a rehab-focused contract as he recovers from the shoulder procedure.
- Rodgers is a free agent during rehab and can seek a new deal once healthy, with no timetable for a return reported.
