Marcelo Mayer Hits First MLB Long Ball
Marcelo Mayer went 1-for-2 with a home run during their loss to the New York Yankees on Friday evening. Mayer hit his first MLB home run in the fifth inning off Yankee right-hander Will Warren. This was a solo shot. The Red Sox promoted their top infield prospect prior to their game on May 24. Through the first 10 games with Boston, the former fourth overall pick has posted a .206/.270/.353 line with two doubles and a home run. He has held a 10:3 K:BB and tallied two RBI. Earlier in the season, the No. 8-ranked prospect in baseball showed high potential during his first taste of Triple-A as he held a .271/.347/.471 slash line with five doubles, nine home runs, and two stolen bases. With Alex Bregman (quadriceps) on the IL, fantasy managers should expect Mayer to continue to see steady playing time.
