The Boston Red Sox trimmed their 2022 roster to 34 players on Saturday afternoon. They need to further reduce it to 28 prior to the 2022 regular season opener on Thursday, April 7th when they play the New York Yankees in New York,.

The Red Sox made the following roster moves

• Right-handed pitcher Eduard Bazardo and left-handed pitcher Darwinzon Hernandez were optioned to Triple-A Worcester.

• Right-handed pitcher Kaleb Ort, left-handed pitcher Derek Holland, outfielder Christin Stewart, and infielder Yolmer Sánchez were reassigned to minor league camp.

Derek Holland, who could have opted-out of his contract announced that he had accepted the assignment to Triple A Worcester.

• Tyler Danish - Right-hand pitcher

• John Schreiber - Right-hand pitcher
• Travis Shaw - Infielder
• Franchy Cordero - Outfielder
