Red Sox Prospects Promoted to Triple-A Worcester Amid Struggles at the Major League Level

BOSTON – As the Boston Red Sox face challenges in the current MLB season, the organization is looking to the future with the promotion of its top three prospects to Triple-A Worcester. Roman Anthony, Marcelo Mayer, and Kyle Teel received the call-up on Sunday, signaling a potential shift in the team's fortunes as these young talents are just one step away from the majors. Roman Anthony, a 20-year-old outfielder and a second-round pick in 2022, has shown impressive performance in the minors, boasting a .269 batting average, a .367 on-base percentage, and a .489 slugging percentage over 84 games. He has also contributed significantly with 15 home runs, 20 doubles, and three triples. Meanwhile, Kyle Teel, the Red Sox's first-round pick in 2023, has made a swift transition to Triple-A after just 84 games with the Portland SeaDogs, where he recorded a .298 average, a .390 OBP, and 11 home runs. Manager Alex Cora expressed optimism about the trio's promotions, highlighting their skills as base runners and teammates. He emphasized the importance of player development beyond just on-field performance, noting that age is not a barrier to success in the big leagues. Cora believes that the simultaneous advancement of these prospects will be exciting to watch and that they will play a significant role in the team's future.
