  • Red Sox's Marcelo Mayer: Contributes to win

    Mayer went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Friday's 5-4 win over the Rays.

    Mayer had a run-scoring double for the second straight game, both of which helped the Red Sox come back after the Rays had taken a lead. He's set to become the primary second baseman after the team activated third baseman Alex Bregman from the injured list Friday. Mayer, who is batting .225 through 38 games, has hit safely in three straight games, going 4-for-11 with two doubles, two RBI and two runs scored.

  • Red Sox's Marcelo Mayer: Survives roster decision

    Mayer will remain on the Red Sox roster after the team optioned David Hamilton to Triple-A Worcester on Thursday to clear a spot for Alex Bregman (quadriceps), Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Bregman's return Friday was going to present a roster crunch, but it's Mayer who will stay in the majors. The 22-year-old top prospect will likely occupy the strong side of a platoon at second base with Romy Gonzalez. Mayer had a key run-scoring double Thursday during Boston's three-run seventh inning.

  • Red Sox's Marcelo Mayer: Set to be primary second baseman

    Manager Alex Cora said Friday that Mayer will get the majority of the playing time at second base moving forward, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

    The 22-year-old's roster spot appeared in question with Alex Bregman (quadriceps) returning from the injured list Friday, but the Red Sox will keep Mayer in the majors and shift him to the middle infield. The rookie has seen most of his playing time thus far at the hot corner, but he has yet to get on track at the plate with a .234/.272/.421 slash line and 29.8 percent strikeout rate through 37 games. Mayer is starting at the keystone and batting seventh Friday versus the Rays.

  • Red Sox's Marcelo Mayer: Sitting out third straight

    Mayer is again absent from the lineup for Monday's contest against the Rockies.

    The Red Sox are facing a lefty (Austin Gomber) for the third straight day. The lefty-swinging Mayer has been out of the lineup for all three contests, though he did receive two plate appearances off the bench in Sunday's win over the Nationals. Mayer is 4-for-22 with a 7:0 K:BB early on versus southpaws at the big-league level. Nate Eaton is again at third base Monday.

  • Red Sox's Marcelo Mayer: Beginning on bench Saturday

    Mayer is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus Washington, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Mayer had started four straight games after coming off the bereavement list Monday, but he'll get at least a partial rest day Saturday against Nationals lefty Mitchell Parker. With Mayer out of the lineup, Nate Eaton is starting at third base and batting leadoff while Romy Gonzalez is playing second base.

  • Red Sox's Marcelo Mayer: Back from bereavement leave

    The Red Sox reinstated Mayer (personal) from the bereavement list Monday. Mayer will start at third base and bat sixth in the Red Sox's series opener with the Reds.

    After being recalled from Triple-A Worcester on Friday when Mayer was deactivated, infielder Nick Sogard will head back to the minors to clear room for Mayer's return to the 26-man active roster. Before stepping away from the team and missing three games while tending to the personal matter, the 22-year-old rookie slashed .208/.262/.429 with four home runs and seven RBI through his first 84 big-league plate appearances. At least until Alex Bregman (quadriceps) returns from the injured list, Mayer is poised to serve as the Red Sox's primary third baseman.

  • Red Sox's Marcelo Mayer: Three-hit effort in Tuesday's loss

    Mayer went 3-for-4 with a triple, one RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the Angels.

    Mayer went 0-for-11 with one walk and four strikeouts over his previous four games. He had an RBI single in the 10th inning to briefly put the Red Sox ahead Tuesday, but they ultimately lost in the bottom of the frame. Mayer continues to receive steady playing time versus right-handed pitchers, but this was his first multi-hit effort since June 11 versus the Rays. He's batting .216 with a .718 OPS, four home runs, seven RBI, 12 runs scored, three doubles, one triple and no steals over his first 26 major-league games.

  • Red Sox's Marcelo Mayer: On bench against lefty

    Mayer is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

  • Red Sox's Marcelo Mayer: Idle against lefty Sunday

    Mayer is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

    The Red Sox have faced left-handed starting pitchers in all three games of the series with the Yankees, and Mayer has been on the bench for two of them. The rookie will cede third base to Abraham Toro on Sunday as the Red Sox look to get some extra right-handed bats in the lineup.

  • Red Sox's Marcelo Mayer: First career multi-homer game

    Mayer went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Rays.

    Wednesday marked the first multi-homer game of the 2021 first-rounder's major-league career. Mayer has been primarily working on the strong side of a platoon with Abraham Toro at third base, and the former is slowly beginning to flash his slugging potential. Mayer is slashing .250/.313/.523 with three long balls, four doubles and four RBI over 44 plate appearances, and he should continue to see the majority of the action at the hot corner as long as Alex Bregman (quadriceps) remains on the injured list.

  • Red Sox's Marcelo Mayer: Hitting bench vs. southpaw

    Mayer is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

    Mayer went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Friday's 9-6 loss to the Yankees.
