The Red Sox is sending infielders/outfielders Christian Campbell ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported that it was a triple A. Outfielder Wilyer Abreu According to Masslive’s Chris Cotillo, it may be activated from the injured list tomorrow. Sox is closed today, but the series begins tomorrow in San Francisco.
It was more than a year for Campbell. He tore up minors in 2024, cutting .330/.439/.558 with 178 WRC+ and climbed from high A to Double-A and Triple-A in the process. This put him on the 2025 prospect list and put him in the position when he made his debut this year in Major League Baseball.
He not only cracked the lineup on the opening day, but also worked on him for a long time. Campbell and the club agreed to an eight-year, $60mm extension in early April, with the deal also including club options for 2033 and 2034.
Campbell’s major league career has at least made a good start on offense. By April 29, he was sitting on the .313/.420/.515 line of 161 WRC+. He hits with 25.2% of the clip, but also walks with 16% of the plate. But since then, his coldness has been there, with 0.154/.236/.215 lines and 25 WRC+. He was beaten out on the latter’s 29.2% plate appearance, while painting walks at just 6.9%.
Gentlely speaking, his gloves work is not ideal either. He was sentenced to -14 defensive runs in the second base in 471 2/3, which made him one of the worst defenders in this year’s Grand Slam. He also played some outfields, and Sox made him try some first base Triston Casas Injured, but he still did not compete in any match moves.
Despite Campbell’s previous prospects and huge contracts, he still has no experience as a professional baseball player. Before this year, he had only 137 minor league games and now he has added 67 major league games. Even for the first time in Major League Baseball, sometimes even the highest prospects may struggle, so despite his recent cold, Campbell may still have a bright major league future. However, Sox is currently playing meaningful baseball, currently tied for the last wildcard in the US League, so they gave him to minors in an attempt to get him back on track.
Due to Campbell and such as Campbell and Marcelo Mayer and Roman Anthony. In addition, they signed Alex Bregman Cover the third base and hit Rafael Devers Enter the designated hitter slot.
Things have become increasingly crowded in recent weeks. Bregman is now on the injured list and Devers has traded to the Giants. David Hamilton The last three games started at second base, but this year’s game reached .172/.206/.269, so he shouldn’t consolidate his position. Mayer is third, but maybe skating to second place when Bregman is ready to leave IL, although it’s possible that Campbell will return on the road as well.
Abreu will be added to the outfield mixture, which also includes Jarren Duran,,,,, Ceddanne Rafaela And Anthony, although the open DH position could allow them to share the lineup regularly with four. Yoshida Masataka If he could get out of IL, he might have further crowded that group, which could put some pressure on Anthony, who has so far only reached .074/.194/.222. It’s a small sample of nine games, but he won’t get the same treatment as Campbell. If Sox is hung in a wild card game, Sox is expected to be purchased by the deadline and their goals may be affected by this musical chair game.
