Kristian Campbell is doing exercises on the first basis

Kristian Campbell started the first basic exercises in front of Red Sox’s serial opener against the Braves. Boston has pressed things together in the position since then Triston Casas He suffered a knee injury two weeks ago.

“Looking for options“Manager Alex Cora said about Campbell’s Pregame work (link about Chris Cotillo from Masslive).”Obviously we get Romy (Gonzalez) Probably until the end of the week or early next week. But only insert (Campbell) into the first basis and see what it looks like. … it can take 10 days, 15 days, a month and two months, but we started the process.“”

Gonzalez, an infield for suppliers, got the first crack in the position after the Casas injury. He was out of the way a week later through a quad premiere. As Cora noticed, the SOX expect that he will be back after an almost minimal stay. Abraham Toro And Nick SogardEach of them was in Triple-A at the beginning of the month and divides the first basis until Gonzalez returns.

The SOX approached Rafael -devers About the first base repetitions. He stated that he was not ready to do this and publicly expressed frustration over the Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow after the SOX had brought him to the proven baton from the third basis at the beginning of the season. Devers did not play a single defensive inning all year round.

Campbell has no collegiates or professional experience as a first -base man. Most of it played the second, but also has experience in both infield positions and all three outdoor fields. Campbell started 34 games in the keystone during his rookie season. He added 50 Outfield Innings – 38 in the middle and 12 left. Although it is not worth placing a lot of shares in six weeks of defensive metrics, Campbell has not rated well in second place. Statcast has two runs below average, while the defensive runs stored, six races have rated him under the par. That’s with Jake Cronenworth For the most second worst at the position (over Washington’s Luis García Jr.).

It seems that the SOX does not plan an upcoming first base train for Campbell. You cannot hesitate to pretend a 22-year-old prospective customer in the defensive range as a short-term reaction to an injury. However, there is little damage to see how Campbell needs work before the game, and the SOX have another top view of medium infield. Marcelo Mayer meets .274 with eight homers in triple-a Worcester. He could finally push the crotch Trevor history At the season at Shortstop. If Campbell would first change, one could slide from Mayer or Story to the second basis.
