The Red Sox have sent pitchers Michael Bowden, Ramon A. Ramirez and first baseman Aaron Bates to the minors. Jorge Sosa has been re-assigned to minor league camp.
According to the Globe's Amalie Benjamin, the Red Sox now have 40 players left in camp.
The most interesting race left for the Red Sox roster is for the last bench spot (if Mike Lowell is healthy) and for the spots in the bullpen (Scott Atchison, Brian Shouse, Joe Nelson), depending on how the rotation pans out.
