Overview

  • The Red Sox placed 22-year-old Marcelo Mayer on the 10-day injured list retroactive to July 24 after diagnosing a right wrist sprain.
  • Boston called up David Hamilton as the corresponding move following Mayer’s self-removal from a game against the Phillies.
  • Mayer, the 2021 No. 4 overall pick and Boston’s highest draft choice since 1967, has missed time with wrist, shoulder and lumbar injuries at every professional level.
  • Manager Alex Cora said the club will gather more information over the weekend to determine whether Mayer needs surgery or a brief rehabilitation.
  • With the trade deadline approaching, Boston plans to lean on Ceddanne Rafaela’s infield versatility and platoon options to sustain its wild-card pursuit.
