The Boston Red Sox announced several roster cuts, sending Nick Yorke and nine other players to minor league camp. Yorke, who has been exclusively playing at second base as a professional, is expected to be introduced to left field to add versatility to his skillset. This move comes as the Red Sox consider the future positioning of players, with Yorke's adaptation potentially affecting his role in the team, possibly even leading to a trade. The decision on Yorke's level for the year remains to be determined (TBD), as the team aims to enhance his versatility and re-establish his offensive profile.
Looks as if Forrest Wall will get the last bench spot, barring a late add. After today's game, the #Braves reassigned INFs David Fletcher, Luke Williams, Andrew Velazquez and OF Eli White to minor league camp, along with Cs Drake Baldwin and Chadwick Tromp. Just 28 left in camp.

Cora mentioned Nick Yorke will be introduced to left field at some point to give him some versatility. He's been exclusively at 2B as a professional. If Grissom, who's 23, is the second basemen moving forward, how Yorke fits will be interesting. Ultimately, perhaps in a trade.
