Red Sox's Alex Speas: Departs 40-man roster

The Red Sox designated Speas for assignment Saturday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Speas will be removed from the Red Sox's 40-man roster to make room for Danny Jansen, who's coming over from Toronto via trade. Speas was claimed off waivers by Boston on June 29 but has been with Triple-A Worcester since.
