Show Notes
The Boston Red Sox finalized their Opening Day roster, sending Connelly Early to the starting rotation and Johan Oviedo to the bullpen. They also released several players, including prospect Kyson Witherspoon, who was assigned to High-A Greenville. Veteran reliever Vinny Nittoli and infielder Brendan Rodgers, a seven-year veteran and former Gold Glove winner, were let go due to injuries. Rodgers, who signed a minor league deal, underwent surgery for a torn labrum and chipped bone, ending his season. The Red Sox may re-sign him on a reworked minor league contract for depth in the future. Andruw Monasterio took over the open bench role. These moves keep the Red Sox flexible as they prepare for their first games in a busy season.
