While Mayer's absence certainly marks another setback for the Red Sox's recently slumping offense, there's an even bigger concern taking place in The Bronx following news that New York Yankees outfielder and American League MVP candidate Aaron Judge is dealing with a potentially serious elbow injury.

7/10/25 | Red Sox rookie survives roster crunch, has 'best at-bat of the season' in comeback win. When Marcelo Mayer arrived at Fenway Park for Thursday's game against the Rays, there was some question of if he'd still be with the Red Sox by the end of the day. Within hours, the rookie infielder would survive a roster crunch precipitated by Alex Bregman's impending return and provide a key hit in a 4-3 comeback win that extended Boston's winning streak to seven games. Mayer, who started at third base, delivered one of two big swings for the Red Sox in a three-run seventh inning that turned a two-run deficit into a one-run lead. After Trevor Story and Romy Gonzalez led off with back-to-back walks against Rays newcomer Bryan Baker, Mayer worked a 2-1 count, then ripped a 108.7 mph opposite-field RBI double that made it a one-run game and put two men in scoring position for the red-hot Ceddanne Rafaela.

7/07/25 | Alex Cora's Controversial Lineup Strategy Paying Off For Red Sox. When the Boston Red Sox promoted top prospects Marcelo Mayer and Roman Anthony earlier in the season, many Red Sox fans wanted them in the lineup every day. Alex Cora has resisted the temptation, however, limiting their at-bats against left-handed pitchers to avoid over-exposing them so early in their careers. While Cora has faced criticism at times for platooning his young stars and restricting their playing time, the strategy has paid off.
