Marcelo Mayer Hits Eighth Home Run, Drives In Three At Triple-A
Marcelo Mayer went 2-for-4 with a walk, a three-run home run, and two runs scored for Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday. It's his first home run since April 27, a stretch of 11 games without one, but he's now up to eight on the season with a .275/.342/.500 slash line. His 38 RBI on the season make him the minor league leader in that category. The former fourth-overall draft pick still doesn't have a path to playing time with the big league club, but has logged starts at second base and third base in addition to his primary position of shortstop, giving the left-handed slugger some versatility that should help get him to the majors. Look for a call-up around midseason unless an injury opens up something sooner, and his potential power production makes him one of the top prospect stashes for fantasy managers who have the bench space or an NA spot to spare.
