Marcelo Mayer will open the season as Boston’s regular second baseman (in a left-handed platoon) while Kristian Campbell was optioned to Triple-A Worcester amid a crowded roster; Mayer, a former top prospect recovering from injury, is being groomed for a stable big‑leaguer role, and the Sox split time at 2B with IKF/Monasterio in reserve.
Boston added Caleb Durbin in a six-player trade with Milwaukee, giving the Sox a versatile second/third baseman and prompting questions about infield alignment as Mayer, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, and a shoulder-injured Romy Gonzalez compete for at-bats. Durbin is expected to see regular action in the middle infield, with Trevor Story handling shortstop for now and IKF as the primary backup. In the outfield, Boston plans to use Wilyer Abreu as an everyday player alongside Jarren Duran, Ceddanne Rafaela, Roman Anthony, and Masataka Yoshida, though Yoshida’s big contract and Abreu’s left-handed splits could shape regular playing time. Spring training will clarify the exact lineup and roles.

The Celtics' big game is also taking attention away from the Red Sox.
