Red Sox make unexpected Kristian Campbell first base decision with new lineup update | Sporting News Boston surprised some people.
JUNE 1, 2025 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM
Starting, but not at first base Campbell will start at second base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against Atlanta, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
Impact Campbell's inclusion in the lineup isn't noteworthy in itself, though the fact that he's playing second base is unexpected after manager Alex Cora had previously said that he planned to give the rookie his first career start at first base this weekend. Cora appears to have had a late change of heart and will instead use Abraham Toro at first base in the series finale, but Campbell has been taking pregame reps at the position for a couple weeks now and should eventually get a look.

Falls in batting order Campbell is batting eighth Friday against Atlanta.

He is hitting .114 with one home run and zero steals in his last 22 games and this is the third time this season he's hit lower than seventh and the first time since May 23 he's hit eighth.

Impact The Red Sox have been searching for an answer at first base since Triston Casas (knee) suffered a season-ending injury in early May, and the search became even more dire a week later when Romy Gonzales (quadriceps) hit the injured list. Campbell began taking first-base reps during pregame warmups shortly after Gonzales' injury, and he'll get his first crack at in-game action this weekend. The 23-year-old rookie is slashing .225/.312/.354 in 202 plate appearances this season,

Not close to playing 1B in games Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Tuesday that Campbell is not close to playing first base in games, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Impact Campbell has been working out pregame at first base as the team mulls its options at first base in the wake of Triston Casas' season-ending knee injury. While it seems as though the rookie is under real consideration to play the position in the future, it doesn't sound like it will happen anytime soon. Campbell is starting in center field and batting fifth for the Red Sox on Tuesday against the Mets.
MAY 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Expected back in lineup Tuesday Red Sox interim manager Ramon Vazquez said Monday that Campbell is healthy and expected back in the lineup Tuesday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
Impact Campbell is out of the lineup for a second straight day Monday. Vazquez -- who is the interim skipper Monday so that manager Alex Cora can attend his daughter's college graduation -- indicated that it's a "reset" for Campbell, who is hitting only .085/.104/.149 in May. The days off will also allow Campbell to put in more pregame work at first base, where the rookie has been taking reps as the Red Sox consider him as a replacement there for the injured Triston Casas (knee).
MAY 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
On bench for second straight game Campbell is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.
Impact After slashing just .085/.104/.149 to begin May, Campbell was held out of the lineup for Sunday's 10-4 loss to Atlanta. The rookie will remain on the bench for Monday's series opener, but the Red Sox haven't indicated that Campbell is nursing any sort of injury. Assuming he's healthy, Campbell should remain the Red Sox's top second baseman, though he recently began taking reps at first base and could be an option at that position as Boston seeks a more permanent replacement for Triston Casas (knee), who is out for the season.
MAY 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Taking seat amid slump Campbell is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
Impact Campbell has just one hit in his past 26 at-bats and has a .085 average (4-for-47) and 31.3 percent strikeout rate through 12 games in May, so he'll get a breather for Sunday's series finale versus Atlanta. David Hamilton will step in at the keystone and bat eighth for Boston.

Taking reps at first base Campbell was seen doing some first-base drills prior to Friday's game versus Atlanta, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
Impact It doesn't necessarily mean the Red Sox are giving real thought to using Campbell at first base, as players will sometimes take reps at a position they're unlikely to play. However, the Red Sox have a clear opening at first base following the season-ending injury to Triston Casas (knee), and Campbell's defensive metrics at second base have been poor. Campbell has never played first base in pro ball.
