Overview

• Boston’s 31-35 record leaves the Red Sox fourth in the AL East and searching for ways to turn around their season.
• Roman Anthony has batted .288 with 10 home runs and a .914 OPS over 58 games for Triple-A Worcester, fueling calls for his promotion.
• Kristian Campbell’s decline at the plate and ranking as one of the league’s poorest defensive second basemen have intensified pressure to option him back to Triple-A.
• Front-office discussions include shifting Jarren Duran, repurposing Ceddanne Rafaela and reconfiguring the infield to clear a roster spot.
• Manager Alex Cora confirms Anthony’s call-up is reviewed daily but emphasizes that timing and logistical hurdles will guide the final decision.
