The Nationals optioned third baseman/outfielder Kory Casto to Triple-A Columbus and reassigned pitchers Arnie Munoz and Steven Shell to Minor League camp, reducing the Nationals' spring roster to 41.

Casto, expected to be the everyday third baseman at Columbus, had known since the beginning of Spring Training that he wasn't likely to be placed on the 25-man roster because of his poor 2007 campaign.
