Marcelo Mayer Homers, Collects Three RBI In Three-Hit Day
54 seconds agoBoston Red Sox shortstop prospect Marcelo Mayer went 3-for-3 with three RBI in Thursday's 6-5 Grapefruit League win over the Tigers, which included a single, a triple, and his first home run of the spring season. The 22-year-old is now 5-for-11 (.455) in the spring, and although he's a long shot to make the team out of camp, the Red Sox have to be thrilled to see him out there fully healthy after finishing last season on the IL with a lumbar strain. The 6-foot-3 left-handed hitter is the third-ranked Red Sox prospect and No. 12 overall in MLB. The former first-round draft pick spent all of 2024 at Double-A, slashing .307/.370/.480 with eight home runs and 13 steals in 335 PA. He's expected to begin the season at Triple-A, but with oft-injured Trevor Story manning short for the BoSox, Mayer is a nice insurance policy who should make his major league debut in 2025, however, he shouldn't be drafted in most standard-sized fantasy leagues.
