Set to be primary second baseman Manager Alex Cora said Friday that Mayer will get the majority of the playing time at second base moving forward, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact The 22-year-old's roster spot appeared in question with Alex Bregman (quadriceps) returning from the injured list Friday, but the Red Sox will keep Mayer in the majors and shift him to the middle infield. The rookie has seen most of his playing time thus far at the hot corner, but he has yet to get on track at the plate with a .234/.272/.421 slash line and 29.8 percent strikeout rate through 37 games.

Impact Bregman's return was going to present a roster crunch, which meant either Mayer or Hamilton would head to Worcester. Red Sox manager Alex Cora informed Hamilton following Thursday's 4-3 win over the Rays, which means Mayer will stay in the majors and likely occupy the strong side of a platoon at second base with Romy Gonzalez. Mayer had a key at-bat Thursday with a run-scoring double during Boston's three-run seventh inning.

Back from bereavement leave The Red Sox reinstated Mayer (personal) from the bereavement list ahead of Monday's game against the Reds.

Impact After being recalled from Triple-A Worcester on Friday when Mayer went on the bereavement list, infielder Nick Sogard will head back to the minors to clear room for Mayer's return to the 26-man active roster. Before stepping away from the team and missing three games while tending to the personal matter, the 22-year-old rookie slashed .208/.262/.429 with four home runs and seven RBI through his first 84 big-league plate appearances. At least until Alex Bregman (quadriceps) returns from the injured list, Mayer is poised to serve as the Red Sox's primary third baseman.
