Marcelo Mayer - Not locked into starting job Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Friday that Mayer will have to earn his way onto the Opening Day roster, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Impact Mayer remains a likely bet to be in Boston's lineup on Opening Day in Cincinnati, but a job will not be handed to him, with Cora noting the young infielder must improve his offense after posting a 80 wRC+ in the majors last season. What position Mayer is likely to fill hasn't been determined yet. The Red Sox had previously indicated a desire to put him at third base, but early on in camp Mayer has mostly played second base, with Caleb Durbin handling the hot corner.

Mikey Romero - Impresses coaches thus far Red Sox manager Alex Cora on Thursday mentioned Romero as one of the players that has stood out in camp thus far, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports. Most notable to the manager...

Impact "You see the physicality of Romero," Cora said. "He's strong, stronger than last year. From me, I want to see him at second base and see how it plays out. He did an amazing job (adding strength) in the offseason." Romero had a fully healthy season in 2025, his first being selected 24th overall in 2022. The recently turned 22-year-old infielder posted a .751 OPS with 17 home runs -- third most in the system -- over 111 games in stops at Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester. While Cora mentioned second base, Romero also played shortstop and third base in 2025. Second base was an unsettled spot for Boston last season, but it looks like a combination of Marcelo Mayer and Caleb Durbin should handle those chores in 2026. Romero, who currently does not have a spot on the 40-man roster, is seemingly in contention for a call-up should the Red Sox have a need for an infielder.

Johan Oviedo - Team wants more explosion Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Thursday that coaches are working with Oviedo to be explosive with his delivery, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports. "Just a big dude that we...

Impact Oviedo threw a two-inning live batting practice at JetBlue Park in Fort Myers on Thursday, and the manager said he's getting closer to what coaches are looking for. Cora also raved about Oviedo's extension and the need to create more force down the mound, but strike-throwing remains a key for the hurler, whose first spring start is scheduled for next Wednesday against the Twins. Oviedo appears to be the frontrunner for a spot at the back end of the rotation. One candidate, Kutter Crawford (wrist), could open the season on the injured list, and two others, Connolly Early and Payton Tolle, are prospects that may begin the year at Triple-A Worcester. Left-hander Patrick Sandoval is also in the mix, but he missed all of 2025 with an elbow injury.

Kutter Crawford - Could begin season on injured list Crawford (wrist/illness) could begin the season on the injured list, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Impact Crawford is behind other pitchers in Red Sox camp following last year's right wrist surgery and also a recent bout with the flu. He's throwing off the mound, but with several other candidates to fill the last spot in their rotation, the Red Sox could choose to slow-play Crawford after he missed the entire 2025 campaign. Crawford made 33 starts for Boston in 2024, posting a 4.36 ERA and 175:51 K:BB over 183.2 innings.
