Marcelo Mayer Hits the Bench on Monday

Boston Red Sox infielder Marcelo Mayer is not in his team's starting lineup for their Monday matchup against the Colorado Rockies and left-handed starter Austin Gomber. Mayer has struggled in his rookie season overall, hitting .219 with a 31.1% strikeout rate across 103 plate appearances. The lefty-swinger has been even worse against same-handed pitching, hitting .182 with just one extra-base hit, albeit in a limited 22-plate appearance sample. Right-handed hitting Nate Eaton will take Mayer's regular spot at third base on Monday night.

Marcelo Mayer Placed on Bereavement List

The Boston Red Sox placed rookie infielder Marcelo Mayer on the bereavement list on Friday and recalled infielder Nick Sogard from Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move, according to Mass Live's Chris Cotillo. Mayer will step away from the team for a couple of days and will most likely miss the entire weekend series at Fenway Park against the division-rival Toronto Blue Jays. Sogard will step into the starting lineup on Friday against Blue Jays right-hander Jose Berrios, playing third base and batting in the nine-hole. Mayer, the team's No. 2 prospect per MLB Pipeline, is the club's shortstop of the future, but he has been filling in at the hot corner in Beantown with Alex Bregman (quadriceps) expected to be out for the rest of the first half of the season. The 22-year-old has hit just .208 (16-for-77) but does have four home runs in his first 27 MLB contests.

Marcelo Mayer Launches Solo Home Run

Boston Red Sox third baseman Marcelo Mayer went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 3-1 win against the Mariners. After a slow first week after being called up, he has picked it up in June with four home runs. While an injury to Alex Bregman paved the way for his promotion, the recent trade of Rafael Devers could potentially open up enough space for Mayer to stick around once Bregman is healthy. The 22-year-old could bounce around at third base, shortstop, second base, and designated hitter if he hits enough to warrant a spot in the lineup. He's certainly doing that right now, with a .475 slugging percentage through 21 career games.

Roman Anthony, Marcelo Mayer Sitting on Sunday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony and infielder Marcelo Mayer are not in Sunday's lineup when they face Yankee left-hander Max Fried. Anthony has only made one start against a left-hander since joining the major league roster. While Anthony could ultimately earn a full-time role in the Boston lineup, it appears the Red Sox are being cautious with his playing time and keeping him on the strong side of a platoon. Fellow top prospect Mayer has also been typically held out of action when facing left-handed pitching. Since joining the majors, Mayer has only made two starts against lefties. Despite the limited playing time, Mayer has begun to heat up, posting a strong .313 AVG over his last eight games. Anthony has held a low .063 AVG through his first five games. Fantasy managers should expect both budding stars to return to the lineup on Monday when they begin a series against the Seattle Mariners.

Marcelo Mayer Continues to Sit Against Lefties

Boston Red Sox rookie infielder Marcelo Mayer will take a seat again for Friday's series opener against the division-rival New York Yankees at Fenway Park with a left-hander on the mound. Mayer has been filling in at third base for the injured Alex Bregman (quadriceps) on the injured list, but he hasn't been starting against southpaws. Abraham Toro will start at third and hit seventh on Friday against Yankees left-hander Ryan Yarbrough. Mayer, a 22-year-old former fourth overall pick in 2021, is the team's No. 2 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, behind only Roman Anthony. He had his first multi-homer game earlier this week and has gone 11-for-44 (.250) with three homers, three doubles, four RBI and nine runs scored in his first 15 MLB games. Mayer is the future at shortstop for Boston. Toro has hit .333 with an RBI in six career at-bats against Yarbrough.

Marcelo Mayer has First Multi-Homer Game in Win Over Rays

Boston Red Sox rookie infielder Marcelo Mayer, the team's No. 2 prospect, had his first career multi-homer game in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the division-rival Tampa Bay Rays at Fenway Park. Mayer finished the contest going 3-for-4 with two solo home runs and two strikeouts. It was the first time that he homered at Fenway Park in just his 15th big-league after recently being called up from Triple-A Worcester. The 22-year-old became the youngest Red Sox player with a multi-homer game since Rafael Devers did it at age 21 in 2018. Mayer ended May hitting .222 in his first seven games, but he's now up to a .294 average after hitting his first MLB long ball last Friday at Yankee Stadium. Manager Alex Cora called Mayer's swings "effortless." Mayer is the future at shortstop for Boston, but for now he'll continue to play third against righties with Alex Bregman (quadriceps) on the injured list.

Marcelo Mayer Heads to the Bench

Boston Red Sox infielder Marcelo Mayer is out of the starting lineup for the second straight game. Mayer will head to the bench with left-hander Carlos Rodon throwing for the Yankees on Sunday. The 22-year-old appears to be in a straight platoon as he continues to sit out against left-handed pitching. Mayer hasn't exactly been great at the plate, slashing .229/.289/.371 with one home run and two RBI this season. In his absence, Abraham Toro will cover third base and bat sixth against Rodon on Sunday.

Marcelo Mayer Hits First MLB Long Ball

Boston Red Sox infield prospect Marcelo Mayer went 1-for-2 with a home run during their loss to the New York Yankees on Friday evening. Mayer hit his first MLB home run in the fifth inning off Yankee right-hander Will Warren. This was a solo shot. The Red Sox promoted their top infield prospect prior to their game on May 24. Through the first 10 games with Boston, the former fourth overall pick has posted a .206/.270/.353 line with two doubles and a home run. He has held a 10:3 K:BB and tallied two RBI. Earlier in the season, the No. 8-ranked prospect in baseball showed high potential during his first taste of Triple-A as he held a .271/.347/.471 slash line with five doubles, nine home runs, and two stolen bases. With Alex Bregman (quadriceps) on the IL, fantasy managers should expect Mayer to continue to see steady playing time.

Marcelo Mayer Sitting Against a Left-Hander

Boston Red Sox rookie infielder Marcelo Mayer is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's contest against the visiting Los Angeles Angels with left-hander Yusei Kikuchi on the mound. Abraham Toro will make the start at the hot corner and will bat fifth against Kikuchi, who he has hit .125 against in just eight career at-bats. For now, the Red Sox are choosing to keep the former fourth overall pick in 2021 out of the starting lineup against southpaws early in his first taste of MLB. The team's No. 2 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, has gone 6-for-30 (.200) with two doubles, two runs, two walks and 10 strikeouts in his first eight big-league games for Boston. Against right-handers, he should continue to be the club's starting third baseman with Alex Bregman (quadriceps) on the injured list with no real timetable for a return. Toro will be a deep DFS sleeper in the five-hole on Tuesday.

Marcelo Mayer Collects First Two Big-League Hits

Boston Red Sox infield prospect Marcelo Mayer picked up the first two hits of his major league career in a 5-1 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday. He started at third base and batted sixth, went 2-for-4 with a single and a double in the contest. The highly touted 22-year-old is 2-for-8 through his first two big league games. He should continue to receive plenty of opportunities with injured third baseman Alex Bregman (quad) on the shelf for the foreseeable future. Mayer and the Red Sox will go on the road to face Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Chad Patrick on Monday.
