Kristian Campbell to Primarily Work in Outfield in Spring Training
Boston Red Sox infielder Kristian Campbell will primarily work in the outfield during spring training, according to manager Alex Cora. In addition to outfield work, Campbell will work one-on-one with infield coach Jose Flores at both second and third base. The addition of work at third is new, but Campbell played there minimally in the minors. The vast majority of Campbell's playing time in his first year in the majors in 2025 came at second base, but he also saw a handful of starts in left and center field. A move to the outfield is now possible after the acquisition of infielder Caleb Durbin. Some combination of Durbin and Marcelo Mayer should handle third and second base regularly in 2026, pushing Campbell to the outfield. The problem with that is Boston already has a crowded outfield picture with Jarren Duran, Roman Anthony, Ceddanne Rafaela, and Wilyer Abreu. A trade could be coming for the BoSox this spring.
