Strong outing for Papelbon »
March 17, 2006
The Red Sox this morning announced that they have optioned right-handed pitcher Cla Meredith to Triple-A Pawtucket, and have reassigned six other players to the club's minor league camp: left-handers Craig Breslow, Mike Bumatay and Phil Seibel; right-hander Matt Ginter; infielder Jed Lowrie; and outfielder Luke Allen.
The Red Sox now have 40 players in camp, including 10 nonroster invitees. The breakdown: 17 pitchers, 3 catchers, 13 infielders and 7 outfielders.
The club is expecting the return soon of some familiar faces -- catcher Jason Varitek and relief pitcher Mike Timlin -- because of the American team's elimination last night from the World Baseball Classic. Still playing in the Classic are designated hitter David Ortiz and relief pitcher Julian Tavarez (Dominican Republic).
