The Boston Red Sox made several roster moves before a series in New York, including promoting top prospect Jhostynxon Garcia and adjusting roles for players like Richard Fitts and Wilyer Abreu, with manager Alex Cora emphasizing flexibility and strategic mixing of players to enhance team dynamics amid injuries and upcoming schedule challenges.
The Boston Red Sox are promoting outfield prospect Jhostynxon Garcia to the majors due to Wilyer Abreu's injury, with Garcia expected to make his MLB debut soon. Garcia, a 22-year-old Venezuelan, has shown strong offensive performance in the minors and was added to the 40-man roster last year. His promotion is partly due to outfield logjam and Abreu's calf injury, which is minor. Garcia's future in the majors depends on roster moves and service time considerations, but for now, he will join the team in a key postseason race.
Red Sox top prospect Jhostynxon Garcia, primarily an outfielder, will get some reps at first base in Triple-A Worcester due to an overcrowded outfield, which could potentially open a path to the majors if he continues to perform well. The move reflects the team's strategic flexibility and Garcia's rising profile as a top prospect, though competition at first base remains stiff with other prospects and roster considerations.
Red Sox prospect Jhostynxon Garcia, nicknamed 'The Password,' hit two home runs and drove in five runs in a Triple-A game, helping the WooSox secure a 12-10 victory. The game also featured a rehab appearance by Jordan Hicks and notable performances from other Red Sox prospects. Garcia's impressive performance earned him a weekly minor league honor for the second time this season.
The Boston Red Sox are adding right-hander Hunter Dobbins and outfielder Jhostynxon Garcia to their 40-man roster to protect them from the Rule 5 Draft. Dobbins, a 25-year-old pitcher, had a strong season in Double-A and Triple-A, while 21-year-old Garcia showed power potential across multiple minor league levels. The team will need to clear two spots on their roster to make these additions official.
