The Red Sox
optioned two players from the major league camp—paring the roster down to 46 (34 on the 40-man, 12 non-roster invitees). Infielder
Marco Hernandez was sent to AAA Pawtucket after delivering a scorching Spring (.579 BA). Right-handed pitcher
Kyle Martin was reassigned to minor league camp. Hernandez was acquired in the trade that sent
Felix Doubront to the Cubbies in 2014. The 23-year old had six two-baggers and seven RBIs in 14
Grapefruit League games before injuring a shoulder in yesterday's win over the Orioles. He is being groomed for a
Brock Holt-like "super-utility" role down the road.
