Compulsory credit: Brian Fluharty-Imagn Images The recruit of the Red Sox of Boston, Marcelo Mayer, was placed on Friday on the list of injuries of 10 days, retroactive on Thursday, while the interior field player underwent a sprain of the right wrist.
Inner field player David Hamilton, who played 62 games for the Red Sox in 2025, was recalled from Triple-A Worcester.
Before Boston opened a three -game home series with the Los Angeles Dodgers, manager Alex Cora told journalists that Ceddanne Rafaela would see a lot of action to the second goal. Rafaela was an exceptional defensive defender for Boston in 2025 and hits 0.271 with 14 circuits and 48 products produced. According to Cora, Roman Anthony, Jarren Duran and Wilyer Abreu will understand the outdoor field most nights.
Mayer made his major leagues debut against Baltimore on May 24 and fell for his first circuit at the Yankee Stadium on June 6. At 44 games, he reduced .228 / .272 / .402 with four circuits and 10 products.
Hamilton spent three years in Boston, playing a career summit of 98 games in 2024. This season, he reduced .179 / .229 / .276 with three circuits and 12 points produced in the major leagues.

Hamilton time baby!! Love watching this dude play, so much energy
Actually Hamilton has been playing pretty solid defense at short and his speed on the basepaths is underrated. His batting average isnt great but he brings other tools to the table that can help the team. Mayer will be back soon anyway
Breaking news: Red Sox player gets injured. In other shocking news, water is wet and the Yankees still suck. At least Hamilton runs fast so we can watch him get stranded on base instead of Mayer getting stranded on base lmao
Injuries are part of baseball unfortunately. Wrist injuries for infielders can be tricky because they need that strength for throwing and hitting. Hamilton has good speed and can play multiple positions which gives the manager flexibility. Hopefully Mayer recovers quickly and this doesnt become a recurring issue
Why does everyone act like Hamilton is garbage?? The guy plays good defense and hustles every play. Not everyone needs to hit 30 home runs to be valuable to a team. Give him a chance before you write him off completely
People saying Hamilton is a good replacement are delusional. The guys hitting like .230 and cant hit for power at all. Mayer was suppose to be our future and now his wrist is messed up? This organization is cursed I swear
Oh great, another injury. Because thats exactly what this team needs right now. Why do we even draft these guys if there always hurt? Maybe we should just wrap them in bubble wrap before every game. Hamilton better step up or this seasons done
lol remember when everyone said Mayer was gonna save the franchise? cant even stay healthy for half a season
So your telling me our top prospect cant stay healthy and were supposed to be excited about a guy who cant hit his weight? Yeah that tracks for this team. Maybe next year we’ll actually have a healthy roster but I aint holding my breath
LETS GO! Finally Hamilton gets his chance to shine! This kid deserves more playing time anyway.
Wait so is Mayer out for like a week or is this more serious?? I dont understand why they dont give us more details about these injurys
Man this sucks so bad. We really needed Mayer in the lineup right now and his wrist had to go and get hurt. Hamilton is ok I guess but hes not the prospect everyone been waiting for
Hamilton isnt Mayer but hes not terrible either people need to chill
