Red Sox's Marcelo Mayer: Managing pec injury
Mayer was held out of Double-A Portland's lineup Tuesday and Wednesday due to pectoral soreness, Chris Hatfield of SoxProspects.com reports.
The Red Sox are reportedly viewing the shortstop prospect's injury as a day-to-day concern, so the expectation is that he'll avoid a stint on Portland's injured list. Mayer missed time earlier this month while battling back discomfort but has performed well in the six games that he's played so far in July, slashing .292/.370/.500 with a 3:7 BB:K.

Red Sox's Marcelo Mayer: Areas for improvment
Red Sox director of player development Brian Abraham recently said the organization is looking for Mayer to develop an increased walk rate, a narrowed strike zone and to see more left-handed pitching, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
Abraham responded to the question of what Mayer has left to prove at Double-A Portland. The prospect has shown improvement in the first two areas, but Abraham acknowledged it's harder to evaluate his performance against left-handed pitching because there aren't as many in the minors. He also wants to see the shortstop increase his range defensively to the arm side and make those plays in the hole. "So while it might be smaller areas of improvement, I think those areas are going to allow him to be great, not just good," Abraham said. "Those things don't happen overnight." Mayer, who is batting .307/.371/.479 over 299 plate appearances, should see Triple-A Worcester in the second half.

Red Sox's Marcelo Mayer: Raking in Double-A
Mayer has hit safely in the first seven games for Double-A Portland. He's slashing .357/.387/.500 with one home run, five RBI, two steals and seven runs scored.
Mayer is healthy after a 2023 season ended early due to a shoulder injury that he said he was feeling long before he was shut down in August. It's reasonably expected that the highly regarded prospect will make his MLB debut in 2025, but this season may not be out of the question. Given the season-ending injury to Trevor Story (shoulder), it's not hard to envision Mayer getting the call later in 2024.
