Sox option Atchison, reassign 5 others

Relievers Scott Atchison and Michael Bowden were optioned to Pawtucket earlier today, along with outfielder Ryan Kalish. Pitchers Randy Williams, Rich Hill, and Brandon Duckworth were also reassigned to minor league camp.

Atchison, Hill, and Bowden were battling for a spot in the major league bullpen, and are likely to be the some of the first arms called upon when reinforcements are needed. Kalish will continue his development as a potential future major league starting outfielder with the PawSox.
