The Crimson Sox positioned rookie Marcelo Mayer on the 10-day injured checklist with a proper wrist sprain Friday, hours earlier than the collection opener with the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers.
The 22-year-old infielder made his big-league debut Could 24 when the Crimson Sox positioned All-Star third baseman Alex Bregman on the injured checklist with a quad pressure. When Bregman returned two weeks in the past, the Crimson Sox opted to maintain Mayer up and choice fellow infielder David Hamilton, who was recalled Friday to take the roster spot.
With Trevor Story in full command of shortstop, Mayer’s pure place, the rookie has moved across the diamond, primarily manning third (39 video games, 28 begins), with simply two appearances at quick. Since Bregman got here again, Mayer has spent extra time at second base.
In 44 video games, he’s hit .228 with a .674 OPS, 29 hits (13 for additional bases), 20 runs, 10 RBI, eight walks and 41 strikeouts.
