Most notable among the non-roster invitees is Casas, a top prospect who hopes to reach Boston, and stay for good, some time this season.

Boston fans also will be familiar with Franchy Cordero, who struggled in 2021 in his debut season in the organization.

Players must report to 2022 Red Sox Major League Spring Training at Fenway South by Sunday. Boston’s 19-game exhibition schedule will begin Thursday.
