In all, 13 players were moved, including 10 pitchers.

Right-hander Ariel Jurado was optioned to Triple A Nashville while pitchers Kyle Cody, Tyler Phillips and infielder Anderson Tejada were optioned to Double A Frisco.

Pitchers Jason Bahr, Kyle Bird, Tim Dillard, Ian Gibaut, Taylor Guerrieri, Wei-Chieh Huang, Arturo Reyes and catcher Sam Huff were reassigned to minor league camp.
