Rotoworld Player News

Kristian Campbell

BOS 2nd Baseman #28

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Kristian Campbell went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a pair of strikeouts on Wednesday for Triple-A Worcester.

It’s an extremely small sample size, but Campbell is hitting .167 (3-for-18) with one extra-base hit through four games this season. The 23-year-old former top prospect’s fantasy stock has fallen off a metaphorical cliff over the past calendar year after opening last season in the big leagues as Boston’s starting second baseman.
Garrett Crochet

BOS Starting Pitcher #35

Garrett Crochet lost to the Astros after allowing five runs — four earned — in five innings on Wednesday.

Crochet mostly just had trouble with Yordan Alvarez initially, but a three-run homer from Carlos Correa in the fifth ruined his solid outing, leaving him 1-1 with a 3.27 ERA after two turns. He’ll face the Brewers next time out.
Wilyer Abreu

BOS Right Fielder #52

Wilyer Abreu went 2-for-4 and hit his third homer against the Astros on Wednesday.

Abreu has been the one player immune to Boston’s early offensive slump. He has 10 hits, twice as many as anyone else on the team, and his three homers are as many as the rest of the club has combined. He won’t be sitting against lefties anytime soon.
Patrick Sandoval

BOS Starting Pitcher #43

Patrick Sandoval (elbow) will start for Double-A Portland on Tuesday.

Sandoval is working his way back from elbow surgery that cost him the entire 2025 season. His velocity has been good in spring workouts, but he has yet to get into a game. With Johan Oviedo struggling, there is a path for Sandoval to emerge as a long reliever for the Red Sox after a few rehab appearances.
Angel Bastardo

BOS Starting Pitcher #99

Blue Jays returned RHP Angel Bastardo to the Red Sox.

Bastardo was taken by the Blue Jays in the Rule 5 draft, but he did not make the Opening Day roster, so he will be returned to the Red Sox. The 23-year-old pitched to a 5.36 ERA in 10 starts (45.1 innings) in Double-A last season.
Triston Casas

BOS 1st Baseman #36

Triston Casas (knee) will now be shut down from hitting after suffering a strained left intercostal muscle.

Casas is already on the IL while recovering from left patellar tendon surgery, so this just adds another injury to the list. The intercostal muscle is a muscle near the oblique/ribs, but the indication right now is that this is not connected to Casas’ fractured rib and rib cartilage injury two years ago. For now, he “is shut down from hitting until symptoms subside, but hasn’t gotten an MRI. The Red Sox will see how he progresses in the coming days.” It’s looking like a May return to Boston is no longer in the cards for Casas.
Roman Anthony

BOS Right Fielder #19

Roman Anthony is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Astros.

Anthony is just one of many members of Team USA in the World Baseball Classic to get off to a slow start to the season. The talented 21-year-old is just 4-for-21 to begin the season with a whopping 11 strikeouts and three walks. Perhaps a reset will help, but Anthony is being far too passive at the start of this season and getting himself into too many bad counts. Jarren Duran will play left field with Masataka Yoshida entering the lineup at designated hitter and batting third.
Carlos Narváez

BOS Catcher #75

Carlos Narváez was scratched from Wednesday’s lineup against the Astros for “non-injury” reasons.

As of now, we have no idea what the issue is, but Narváez said the decision to scratch him was “nothing physical,” and Red Sox manager Alex Cora said, “This is something that happens in every club. Or just happens to be early in the season. It’s the right thing to do.” Hopefully this is just one game absence. Connor Wong will start in his place.
Jedixson Paez

CWS Starting Pitcher #63

White Sox designated RHP Jedixson Paez for assignment.

This is a rough break for Paez. The 22-year-old had never pitched above High-A but was selected by the White Sox in the Rule 5 draft, so they had to keep him on the MLB roster or give him back to the Red Sox. He lasted a week on the roster and will now be available to other teams on waivers. If he clears, he’ll likely rejoin the Red Sox.
Brayan Bello

BOS Starting Pitcher #66

Brayan Bello surrendered six runs — five earned — in 4 2/3 innings Tuesday in a loss to the Astros.

The one encouraging thing about Bello’s outing tonight was that his cutter performed incredibly well; he threw it 21 times for seven whiffs, five called strikes and three instances of soft contact, though two of those turned into hits. Nothing else stood out, and he just didn’t have an answer for Yordan Alvarez, who homered and doubled off him. He’s not a mixed-league quality starter right now, but he’ll probably be adequate for Boston if the Red Sox choose to start hitting at some point. He’ll face the Brewers next.
