Worcester Red Sox Choose David Hamilton Over Vaughn Grissom for Promotion
WORCESTER — Following Marcelo Mayer’s placement on the injured list on July 25, the Boston Red Sox faced a critical decision for his roster replacement. Vaughn Grissom, who has demonstrated impressive hitting abilities in recent months, emerged as a strong candidate for promotion from the Worcester Red Sox. Despite Grissom’s performance, the team opted to promote David Hamilton, who had been sent down to Worcester earlier on July 10 after struggling in his initial stint with Boston, where he posted a .179 batting average and a .505 OPS over 62 games. Hamilton’s inclusion signals a strategy focused on revitalizing his game as the Red Sox aim to bolster their roster amidst the challenges of injuries. As Grissom continues to excel on the field, fans and analysts alike will be watching to see how this decision impacts both players’ careers and the team’s overall performance in the coming weeks.
