Marcelo Mayer Likely Done For The Season

Boston Red Sox shortstop Marcelo Mayer (back), the team's top prospect per MLB Pipeline, is likely to miss the rest of the season. Mayer, 21, hasn't played since leaving a game with Double-A on July 30 and proved unable to rehab to the point of playing following his promotion to Triple-A Worcester on Aug. 13. Further medical evaluation led to a diagnosis of a lumbar strain. He has now left the WooSox to rehab in Florida, and his season is likely done, according to a major-league source. It's a disappointing end to what had been a great season for Mayer, as he hit .307/.370/.480 with eight homers, 36 extra-base hits and 13 steals while providing strong defense at short for the Sea Dogs. However, his durability is now in question, as this marks the second straight year the 2021 first-rounder has been unable to play 80 games after being shut down in August of last year with a shoulder impingement.

Marcelo Mayer Called Up To Triple-A Worcester

Boston Red Sox top prospect Marcelo Mayer has been promoted to Triple-A Worcester. The 21-year-old shortstop hit .307/.370/.480 with eight homers, 38 RBI, and 13 stolen bases in 77 games for Double-A Portland this season. Mayer just came back from an IL stint with a shoulder ailment but he is deemed healthy enough to make the jump for his Triple-A debut. Mayer, MLB's No. 6 overall prospect, joins other top prospects Roman Anthony and Kyle Teel in getting the promotion from Portland to Worcester. The future shortstop for the Red Sox will get a good look at Triple-A to close out the season one more call-up is not out of the question.

Marcelo Mayer Activated Off Injured List

Boston Red Sox prospect Marcelo Mayer (hip) has been activated off of the injured list and is set to rejoin Double-A Portland. Mayer was initially in the starting lineup for Portland but was scratched, so his return will be delayed. Mayer has been dealing with a hip injury he sustained over a week ago. Being scratched from the starting lineup as he was set to return doesn't appear to be the best sign for the 21-year-old but more news should be released later as to why he was scratched. Mayer has hit for an .850 OPS in Double-A this season and is the Red Sox top-ranked prospect in their system. Boston has a bit of a logjam at the major league level with their plethora of shortstops (Trevor Story, Ceddanne Rafaela and David Hamilton) so it may be a while before Mayer appears in the majors. However, fantasy managers in dynasty leagues will want to keep an eye on Mayer's progress in case injuries bump him up or if he is eventually traded to a team that gives him a quicker opportunity.

Marcelo Mayer Hits The Seven-Day Injured List

Boston Red Sox shortstop prospect Marcelo Mayer (hip) is headed to the seven-day injured list, according to SoxProspects.com. Mayer left Tuesday's game early due to this hip injury and was also kept out of Wednesday's lineup. Double-A Portland expressed that this stint shouldn't keep the top prospect sidelined for too long. The 21-year-old has enjoyed a big season at the Double-A level, holding a dominant .307/.370/.480 slash line with eight home runs, 38 RBI, and 13 stolen bases. Last summer at Double-A, the former fourth overall selection in the 2021 MLB draft struggled across a 43-game stint, posting a .189/.254/.355 slash line. If he recovers quickly from this minor injury, he could earn a taste of Triple-A ball later this season. The infielder is considered the seventh-best prospect in all of baseball on MLB.com and should have a strong chance of reaching the major leagues next summer.

Marcelo Mayer Dominating Double-A

Boston Red Sox shortstop prospect Marcelo Mayer has looked quite comfortable at Double-A Portland through the first half of the season and could be approaching a promotion to Triple-A. Through 71 games, the former fourth overall pick in the 2021 MLB Draft has held an excellent .301/.367/.470 line with seven home runs, 36 RBI, 13 stolen bases, and a 29:62 BB:K ratio. This is a stark improvement as the number seven overall ranked prospect in baseball on MLB.com posted a mere .189/.254/.355 across 43 games at Double-A last summer. Mayer looks like a budding superstar and could even reach the majors late in the season if he continues this incredible play.

Marcelo Mayer Finishes Productive June With Homer

Boston Red Sox shortstop prospect Marcelo Mayer went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI for Double-A Portland on Sunday. Mayer finished June hitting .333 with a homer and 12 RBI. He showed off his plate discipline with 14 walks compared to just 12 strikeouts in June and had a .438 on-base percentage in the month. The top overall prospect of the Red Sox is a highly polished hitter with loads of potential at the plate. He has hit .307 at Double-A this season with an .850 OPS. The 21-year-old could be in line for a promotion to Triple-A soon and a call-up to Boston isn't out of the question this season. He could help fantasy managers in the stretch run should he get the big league call.

Marcelo Mayer Continues Hot Stretch

Boston Red Sox shortstop prospect Marcelo Mayer has been on fire to begin the season but has been especially dominant through the early part of May. Since May 1, the 21-year-old has a .314/.379/.529 line with one home run, 11 RBI, three stolen bases, and a 6:9 BB:K ratio. On the season, the top prospect in Boston has posted a .310/.359/.496 slash line. After struggling through 43 games at Double-A last season, Mayer has begun to find his footing and is making a case to be moved up to Triple-A very soon. MLB Pipeline projects him to reach the major leagues this season and could become a stash candidate later in the summer if he continues to dominant minor league pitching.

Marcelo Mayer Hits Second Home Run Wednesday

Boston Red Sox shortstop prospect Marcelo Mayer hit his second home run of the season on Wednesday for Double-A Portland. It was part of a three-hit day, going 3-for-4 including a double, a home run, a walk, an RBI, and three runs scored. After recording a hit in his first 10 games of the season, Mayer went into a mini-slump, going 1-for-15 over his next three games, but busted out in a big way Wednesday. The 21-year-old is now slashing .317/.344/.500 with two home runs, eight RBI, 11 runs scored, and two stolen bases. The walk rate could use some improvement, with a 3.4% BB% and 3:16 BB:K, but 2024 has been a success so far after hitting just .189 in 43 games at Double-A a year ago. The former first-round draft pick should be on the radar of all dynasty managers and will likely get some MLB at-bats at some point this season.

Marcelo Mayer On Fire To Start The Season

Boston Red Sox shortstop prospect Marcelo Mayer went 2-for-5 with a RBI for Double-A Portland on Sunday. The Red Sox number one prospect is now 10-for-28 on the season with one home run, five RBI and two stolen bases on the young season. Mayer split last season between High-A and Double-A, but struggled with a .189 batting average in his first go-around with Portland. The good news is that this year, he has come out on fire. Mayer's defense has always been there, but it is his bat that has needed to catch up and his hot start to the season could be a sign of things to come as Mayer's body has gotten stronger since being drafted out of high school in 2001. Mayer offers plenty to be excited about in the future for dynasty managers with the potential to hit for a good average and provide 20+ homers. For now, he is only a name to keep an eye on in dynasty leagues.

Marcelo Mayer Healthy Heading Into Spring Training

Boston Red Sox shortstop prospect Marcelo Mayer (shoulder), who is listed as the No. 11 overall prospect heading into the 2024 season, is fully healthy and expected to be a full-go for spring training after injuring his left shoulder in May of last year. The 21-year-old said he's been hitting off a tee and will soon face live pitching. Mayer initially tried to play through his shoulder pain and was eventually shut down for the final month of the minor-league season. He finished by hitting .236/.306/.433 with 13 home runs, 54 RBI and nine stolen bases in 78 games with High-A Greenville and Double-A Portland. Mayer is going to be a regular starter for Boston in a few years time, mainly because of his solid defense at the 6, but he could definitely use another full season on the farm to develop offensively with his plate approach.
