Back in infield Sunday Romero (back) will start at second base and bat sixth in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates.

Impact After having been held out of action since Feb. 26 due to a back issue, Romero returned to the spring lineup as a designated hitter Saturday, going 0-for-2 in a 2-0 win over the Rays.

Battling back tightness Manager Alex Cora said Saturday that Romero has been dealing with a tight back, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact The team is hoping for Romero to return Monday, so it doesn't sound like his injury is very serious. The 22-year-old infielder has gone 3-for-9 with three RBI and two runs scored in five games so far this spring and figures to open the regular season at Triple-A Worcester.

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.
