Red Sox's James Norwood: Moved off 40-man roster

The Red Sox designated Norwood for assignment Monday.

Just two days after the Red Sox acquired him from the Phillies, Norwood will move off Boston's 40-man roster without having made an appearance for the big club. The Red Sox called up second baseman Jeter Downs from Triple-A Worcester to replace Norwood on the 26-man active roster.
