Kristian Campbell seems poised to win the Red Sox’ starting second baseman job.
Boston appears ready to have him make his MLB debut on Opening Day against the Rangers in Texas next week, according to a report.
“The presumption around Red Sox camp is that he will be their second basemen [sic],” ESPN’s Buster Olney shared on X on Saturday.
Campbell, 22, has been competing with David Hamilton and Marcelo Mayer for second base this spring. Vaughn Grissom was also in the mix until he was optioned to Triple-A Worcester earlier this week.
