There were plans to try Kristian Campbell at first base. But with the recent play of another option and the return of another, that's been scrapped

The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal urges the team to send struggling infielder Kristian Campbell to Worcester and bring up No. 1 prospect Roman Anthony.

Campbell cracked Boston’s Opening Day roster as the club’s starting second baseman. He picked up where he left off in the minors, slashing .301/.407/.495 with four home runs and 12 RBI over March and April to earn the American League Rookie of the Month honor.

“We want him to get it here. That’s the most important thing,” Cora said. “We don’t rule anything out. But right now he’s gonna play here and he’s gonna get at-bats here and we’re gonna keep pushing him to be better." Cora moved Campbell down to ninth in the batting order Monday. The 22-year-old again is batting ninth Tuesday.

For days, the Red Sox have circled Sunday’s series finale against the Braves as the day rookie Kristian Campbell would make his debut at first base. That isn’t happening, however.

Boston Red Sox fans are fed up with Kristian Campbell, but it's not his fault. Campbell has been mismanaged since his arrival in Boston.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Masataka Yoshida offered insight into when he will return to action after shoulder surgery.

Campbell connected on a cutter from Yankees starter Ryan Yarbrough in the second inning and hit a ground-ball RBI single to right field to make it 1-0 Boston. He connected on a changeup (outside bottom corner of the strike zone) from Yarbrough in the third inning and hit it to the opposite field again, putting the Red Sox ahead 6-3.
