Red Sox Send Dalbec and Alfaro to Minors in Roster Finalization.

The Boston Red Sox have reassigned catcher Jorge Alfaro to minor league camp and optioned infielder Bobby Dalbec, paving the way for catcher Connor Wong and infielder Yu Chang to make the club in reserve roles. Alfaro, who signed a minor league deal with the Sox in the offseason, will head to Triple-A Worcester to start the season. Meanwhile, Dalbec will move all around the infield for the WooSox, perhaps allowing him to return to the big leagues in a utility role somewhere down the line.

Red Sox demote Dalbec and Alfaro, promote Chang to roster.

The Boston Red Sox have sent Bobby Dalbec to Triple-A Worcester, clearing the way for Yu Chang to make the team as the utility infielder. Connor Wong won the backup catching spot despite missing much of camp with a hamstring strain. Two decisions remain for the final outfield spot and the last spot in the bullpen. The decision to send Dalbec down was influenced by his lack of experience at shortstop and the fact that he still has Minor League options.

"Red Sox Set Starting Pitching Rotation for Opening Day with Crawford and Winckowski"

Kutter Crawford will start the fourth game of the season for the Red Sox, filling in for injured pitchers Garrett Whitlock and Brayan Bello. Wyatt Mills has been shut down from throwing due to elbow inflammation, but the issue is believed to be muscular rather than structural. Connor Wong is expected to be ready for Opening Day after recovering from a left hamstring strain. Raimel Tapia is battling for a depth role in the outfield and could see playing time in center field to increase his chances of making the roster.
