Red Sox's Jorge Alfaro: Moves off 40-man roster
The Boston Red Sox designated Jorge Alfaro for assignment Tuesday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.Alfaro spent just under a month on the Red Sox's 40-man roster and 26-man active roster, serving as the No. 2 option at catcher while Reese McGuire (oblique) was on the shelf. As anticipated, Alfaro finds himself as the odd man out with McGuire returning from the IL on Tuesday to reclaim his role as Connor Wong's top backup. Alfaro saw limited work behind Wong while he was with Boston, going 2-for-17 with two walks against three strikeouts. The 30-year-old will now be exposed to waivers and could hold some appeal for an organization looking to upgrade its catching depth.

Rockies' Jorge Alfaro: Mashes three-run blast
Jorge Alfaro went 1-for-5 with a three-run homer in Tuesday's loss to the Reds.Alfaro came up big late in the game with a three-run blast to center field to bring the Colorado Rockies within striking distance.

He's slashing .158/.200/.421 with four RBI, a run scored and a 0:9 BB:K over 20 plate appearances.
