Change in roster moves

While we said earlier that Chris Smith has been optioned to Pawtucket to make room for Tim Wakefield, that isn't technically true. Smith was optioned, but Joe Thurston took his spot on the 25-man roster. Thurston was purchased from Pawtucket, and was also placed on the 40-man roster. To make room on the 40-man, Bartolo Colon was moved to the 60-day disabled list. (That doesn't actually make a difference for Colon, as he's been on long enough that he can be taken off at any time.)

Wakefield has not yet been activated. That means there will be another move before tonight's first pitch.
