Marcelo Mayer’s Injury Saga Continues | MLB News

Marcelo Mayer’s MLB dreams are on pause again—this time with a bone bruise in his foot, a setback that could derail his already fragile 2024 season. Traded from Boston to San Francisco just weeks ago, the former top Red Sox prospect was poised for a dramatic homecoming debut against Rafael Devers… but injuries keep stepping in. A hairline forearm fracture from June, now compounded by this new foot issue, has sidelined him indefinitely. Giants manager says he’s taking the weekend off to heal, and while fans were quick to blame Boston for the trade, it might’ve been the smartest move yet. Mayer’s never played past August 3rd in any pro season and hasn’t hit 100 games in one year—his health history is a red flag. Even when he had a shot at shortstop in April, his stats and defense weren’t convincing enough to earn more playing time. If he ever gets healthy, he’s got potential—but right now? That’s a big if.
