Marcelo Mayer, the Red Sox’s top prospect, is likely to miss the rest of the season due to a lumbar strain, a team source confirmed. Mayer, along with Roman Anthony and Kyle Teel, was recently promoted to Triple-A Worcester. Despite his promising season, Mayer’s injury struggles have persisted, with shoulder inflammation ending his 2023 campaign. The shortstop’s debut in Worcester has been repeatedly delayed due to his injuries, and he is now rehabbing in Florida. Red Sox manager Alex Cora expressed concern over Mayer’s health and emphasized the importance of keeping him healthy. Mayer’s setbacks have been disappointing, but his potential remains high as he works towards returning to the field.
