6/09/25 | Wilyer Abreu injury: Red Sox Gold Glover hits IL with oblique strain, opening Roman Anthony's spot. It took a key injury to a lineup contributor (Alex Bregman) for the Red Sox to promote top infield prospect Marcelo Mayer for his MLB debut on May 24. Anthony was promoted Monday for his major league debut because right fielder Wilyer Abreu has a left oblique strain that landed him on the 10-day injured list. Abreu tweaked his side over the weekend in New York but still entered as a pinch-hitter on both Saturday and Sunday after being out of the lineup with back-to-back lefties pitching for New York. Abreu's oblique felt increasingly worse after Sunday's win, leading the Red Sox to make the decision to summon Anthony from Worcester on Monday.
