Plenty of Sox fans wish to see Anthony crack the Opening Day roster after his outstanding stop in Triple-A last season (.344\/.463\/.519, .982 OPS), but the same can&#8217;t be said of Mayer.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\">The young shortstop had a breakout 2024 campaign shortened by a lumbar strain. Mayer was promoted to Triple-A alongside Anthony and Teel in mid-August, but the back injury prevented him from playing in Worcester alongside his hopeful future teammates.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\">The Sox shutting Mayer down early appears to have paid off. In an interview with Sean McAdam of <em>MassLive,<\/em> the 22-year-old said he&#8217;s been &#8220;cleared for a while now,&#8221; and he&#8217;ll be fully ready to go for spring training (subscription required). He even said his swing feels &#8220;phenomenal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-4\">Red Sox top prospect Marcelo Mayer is fully cleared from season-shortening lumbar strain<\/h2>\n<figure>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\u2018Shocking, sad\u2019 and the end of a dream &#8211; on breaking up the Red Sox\u2019 Big 3 (MLB Notebook) https:\/\/t.co\/iLaXJTt3pm<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Sean McAdam (@Sean_McAdam) December 20, 2024<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\">The shortstop slashed .307\/.370\/.480 with a .850 OPS over 77 games with Double-A Portland in 2024. Unfortunately, Sox fans have been forced to wait to see how he handles the boost to Triple-A, but last year&#8217;s stats suggest it could go quite well.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\">If Mayer posts a successful spring training, he could begin the 2025 campaign in Triple-A and be in the majors before the 2025 season ends. His tenure with the Red Sox organization has been a heavily injured one, and he&#8217;s never played more than 91 games in a single season. Mayer needs to find a way to stay healthy long-term if he hopes to stick it in the big leagues.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-8\">More Red Sox reads:<\/h2>\n<figure><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Going back a few seasons, the Boston Red Sox have anxiously awaited the arrival of three top prospects to the major leagues.
