Overview

  • Boston Red Sox optioned top prospect Kristian Campbell to Triple-A Worcester following his slump.
  • The 22-year-old infielder debuted in April after signing an eight-year, $60 million contract this spring.
  • Over the past month-plus, Campbell hit just .159 and holds a .223 average with six home runs and a .664 OPS in 67 games.
  • A fourth-round pick from Georgia Tech in 2023, Campbell began his major league career with promise before cooling off.
