Kent a late scratch … and we don’t know why

Apparently, we aren’t going to find out until after the game. He definitely made the trip down, because I saw him in the clubhouse. … First round of cuts came this morning. All were non-roster guys getting reassigned: pitchers Brian Shackelford, Fernando De La Cruz, Rick Asadoorian and Alfredo Simon (who still hasn’t reported because of visa problems in the Dominican) and catchers A.J. Ellis and Gabriel Gutierrez. Camp roster now down to 57.
