Hot Hitters, Not Headed to Boston | Boston Red Sox News

0:00It's September 9th. Welcome in. This is Boston Red Sox News today, where Team Coverage meets AI. Alright, let's talk about some hot bats down in AAA Worcester. Christian Campbell, just 24, has been absolutely on fire lately, hitting over 375 with a slugging percentage over. 0.719. And Roman Gonzalez, 30 years old, has been even more impressive in his last 15 games, batting over 421 with a ton of RBI's. Now, this kind of reduction naturally gets fans buzzing about call-ups to the big leagues. However, it turns out that's not what's happening here. Reports indicate that both players were actually removed from their recent games as a precaution due to minor injuries, not because they're heading to. Boston, Campbell is dealing with some toe soreness, and Gonzalez is experiencing a bit of armed discomfort. So, while it doesn't rule out future promotions this season, it's not the reason they're not playing right now. It's just about keeping them healthy. Starting at Gonzalez's situation, the Red Sox already have a lot of players who fill

But he did struggle a bit when he was activated earlier in the summer, which led to him being sent back down to AAA in July. For Campbell, the past to the majors would likely require a more consistent role to open up. With other outfielders already in place or recently promoted, and with key players like Sadan Rafaella, currently on the injured list, it's a crowded. Picture. Gonzalez might have a slightly clearer shot back to the big leagues in Campbell, but neither is getting the call up at this exact moment.
