On Sunday the Red Sox announced two roster moves involving players they designated for assignment last week.
Outfielder Raimel Tapia cleared waivers and was subsequently released by Boston, while pitcher Matt Dermody was optioned to AAA.
Tapia was DFA’d last Monday to make room on the roster for second baseman Christian Arroyo. Dermody was designated after his first major league start on Thursday in which he allowed three runs over four innings.
