Javier Lopez Clears Waivers

According to Joe McDonald of the Providence Journal, Javier Lopez has cleared waivers and accepted an assignment to Triple-A Pawtucket.  The left-hander was DFA'd last week in order to clear roster space for Daniel Bard.  Lopez, who had posted a 9.26 ERA through 11 2/3 innings in the bigs, hopes to work his way back to Boston this season.

"It's a long season and it's early," Lopez said Saturday. "Things didn't work out the way I wanted them to up there.  It's a special club and if you're not getting the job done they're going to get people up there [who can].  It's not a division you can really slack off in, so that's all the motivation I need."
