Europe EditionRed Sox prospect Marcelo Mayer gets a ride to Fenway Park for his big league debut
- On May 24, 2025, Red Sox prospect Marcelo Mayer made his MLB debut as the starting third baseman against the Baltimore Orioles at Fenway Park in Boston.
- Mayer was called up from Triple-A Worcester to take the roster spot after Boston placed third baseman Alex Bregman on the injured list due to a serious strain in his right quadriceps.
- Before the debut, Worcester manager Chad Tracy told Mayer he would not play in the first game of a doubleheader but would start the second, and Mayer was driven about 45 minutes to Fenway by a WooSox clubbie since he lost his car keys weeks earlier.
- Over 43 games with Worcester this season and 193 plate appearances, Mayer posted a.271 batting average, hitting nine home runs, one triple, and driving in 43 runs, while scoring 31 times, drawing 20 walks, and striking out 38 times; he called his debut "something I worked for my whole life."
- Mayer's call-up marks a significant milestone for Boston’s top prospect as he takes over Bregman’s role while the team recently won the first game of the doubleheader by a 6-5 walkoff.
