ATLANTA --The Sox announced today that reliever J.C. Romero, designated for assignment on June 9, has been placed on unconditional waivers for the purpose of giving him his release.
Seventy-two hours must pass before Romero clears waivers. He then would be free to see with any team, which would be responsible for only the pro-rated minimum salary; the Red Sox will be on the hook for the remainder of the approximately $900,000 that's left on his $1.4 million contract.
The Sox had designated Romero for assignment in the hopes of trading him, but trade interest in the veteran left-hander was minimal.
Clement on the mend
Matt Clement, who underwent rotator-cuff surgery last September, has been throwing off a mound at the team's extended spring-training program in Fort Myers, Fla.
Clement will meet with manager Terry Francona and pitching coach John Farrell at the conclusion of the current road trip.
Francona said it was conceivable that Clement could be ready to pitch in games in September.
