Red Sox optioned IF Tsung-Che Cheng and IF/OF Nick Sogard to Triple-A Worcester; reassigned IF/OF Max Ferguson, IF/OF Tyler McDonough, IF Mikey Romero, OF Allan Castro and C/1B Nathan Hickey to minor league camp.
Cheng, who was claimed off waivers from the Nationals in February, hit .133/.409/.133 in 22 spring training plate appearances. Good eye. The 24-year-old will try to carve out a path to the majors in a crowded Red Sox infield situation at Worcester.
