Rafael Devers balked at becoming the Red Sox' DH, and later refused to try out first base. The team worried that would be a dangerous precedent for a roster filled with rookies.

The Boston Red Sox today announced the following roster moves: - Selected outfielder Roman Anthony to the active Major League roster from Triple-A Worcester. He will wear number 48. - Placed outfielder Wilyer Abreu on the 10-Day Injured List with a left oblique strain.

Roman Anthony gets a positive sign he'll remain in the Major Leagues once Wilyer Abreu is called up, based on the Boston Red Sox moving his locker to a more permanent spot.

The White Sox optioned first baseman Tim Elko to Triple-A Charlotte and added the newly acquired Ryan Noda to the major league roster.

The New York Yankees announced that they optioned sent left-handed pitcher Brent Headrick to Triple-A Scranton-Wilkes/Barre.

For the second time this season, a veteran right-hander has cleared waivers and returned to the WooSox after being designated for assignment.
