The Boston Red Sox made a series of roster moves on Saturday as they continue to trim down toward the 25 players who will break camp with the big league team for Opening Day.
Infielder Tzu-Wei Lin and left-handed pitchers Roenis Elias and Robby Scott have been optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket.
Lin provides value with his versatility, bringing a solid glove to several infield positions. The Red Sox are loaded with utility infielders, which made Lin a long shot to open the season in Boston. He has minor league options remaining, while Blake Swihart and Deven Marrero do not.
