Worth noting

• The Red Sox added a "B" game in addition to Thursday's contest against the Pirates in Bradenton, Fla. The additional game will take place at 10 a.m. against the Twins at JetBlue Park in Fort Myers, Fla.

Farrell said Boston's "B"-game pitching staff will consist of Minor Leaguers, and a few position players from Major League camp will also participate. The Twins asked for the additional game because they needed more innings for their pitchers.
