Major League clubs continue to trim their rosters by reassigning prospects to Minor League camp as the regular season approaches. Some notable cuts made Monday:

Phillies

Phillies shortstop J.P. Crawford, MLB.com's No. 5 overall prospect, was among those sent to Minor League camp on Monday. Nick Williams (No. 3), Roman Quinn (No. 7) and Edubray Ramos (No. 29) were also reassigned by Philadelphia.

"It's definitely exciting for the organization," Quinn told MLB.com. "To know there are a bunch of young players that can possibly be pretty good. It's exciting. Hopefully we'll all put in the work and get there pretty soon."

Crawford, the Phillies' first-round pick in 2013, was 3-for-20 with one RBI and three walks in 11 Spring Training games this season after hitting .288 with six homers, 42 RBIs, 12 steals and a .380 on-base percentage in 107 Minor League games last year.

Williams went 5-for-22 with a homer and four RBIs in nine spring games.

"If I'm in Triple-A the whole year, so be it," Williams told MLB.com. "But I'll try to force their hand as best as I can."

Reds

Cincinnati optioned No. 4 prospect Amir Garrett and a pair of right-handers, Rookie Davis and Sal Romano, to Double-A Pensacola. Garrett, the Reds' prized left-hander, appeared in two Spring Training games, allowing three runs on three hits and a pair of walks over 1 1/3 innings.

Davis, the Reds' No. 12 prospect, was acquired in the Aroldis Chapman deal this winter, allowed one run on two hits in a pair of innings this spring, while Romano, the organization's No. 15 prospect, held opponents to three runs on two hits in two innings.

Cincinnati also reassigned shortstops Alex Blandino (No. 8) and Carlton Daal (No. 30), outfielder Phil Ervin (No. 10), third baseman Eric Jagielo (No. 14), right-handers Nick Travieso (No. 9) and Matt Magill and catcher Chad Wallach to Minor League camp.

Pirates

The Bucs cut some of their biggest names from camp Monday, with No. 1 prospect Tyler Glasnow heading a list that includes fellow right-hander Jameson Taillon (No. 4) and outfielder Harold Ramirez (No. 6). Glasnow and Taillon head to Triple-A Indianapolis, while Ramirez will join Double-A Altoona.

Glasnow, who went 7-5 with a 2.39 ERA across three levels in the Minors last season, was limited this spring, appearing in just 1 2/3 innings for Pittsburgh. He struck out two, walked three and allowed a pair of runs in his only start. The 22-year-old appeared in just one inning last spring for the Pirates.

"I've just got to kind of get into the feel of things and get out there and just compete more," Glasnow told MLB.com. "You get into more competition mode and things start to kind of fall into place. Like I said, I'm just excited to get back."

Taillon underwent Tommy John surgery in April 2014 and has not pitched in the Minors since. The Bucs' first-round pick in 2010 allowed two runs on six hits and two walks over four innings this spring, striking out three in a pair of relief outings.

"The future is bright," Pirates general manager Neal Huntington told MLB.com. "A very exciting group, a very encouraging group to think about what can be, to think about how quickly they may be able to help us."
