Comings and goings: Mason White, former Arizona and Salpointe standout, bypassed the rookie league as the Boston Red Sox, who drafted him in the fourth round last month, assigned him to Single-A Salem (Va.). He may make his professional debut with Salem this weekend at the Lynchburg (Va.) Hillcats. Former Arizona teammate Cam Walty is with Lynchburg. Another former Lancer, third baseman Cade McGee, is at the Single-A level with the St. Louis Cardinals’ team at Palm Beach (Fla.). … Former Arizona infielders Kobe Kato and Nik McClaughry were released by their respective big-league teams — Kato by the Atlanta Braves (was at Double-A affiliate Columbus (Ga.)) and McClaughry by the Seattle Mariners (rookie-league team in Phoenix). Kato was batting .180 while McClaughry was at .208. Both struggled with strikeouts — Kato had 60 and McClaughry 40.
