Open Extended ReactionsThe Boston Red Sox are sending rookie Kristian Campbell to Triple-A, paving the way for the return of outfielder Wilyer Abreu off the injured list, sources told ESPN on Thursday.
With a unique stance, Campbell managed to produce top-end exit velocities, and the Red Sox banked on that ability to make up for his lack of minor league at-bats.
In his last big league game Wednesday, he batted eighth and played center field.
Abreu, who turns 26 on Tuesday, is expected to rejoin the Red Sox 10 days after hitting the injured list with a strained oblique.
In his third big league season, Abreu is hitting .245/.321/.471 with 13 home runs, just two shy of his career best in 2024.
