Mayer is back for the final game of the week. Batting third and playing shortstop.

So I’m sure that this is an error with the MiLB app, but evidently Gilberto Jimenez is playing 3B tonight, Joe Davis is in right field, and Ricardo Cubillan is catching.
Edit: It got fixed once they got started but that would have been really funny. I’d love to see Big Joe play the outfield.

Seems like Mayer reaggravated his wrist injury or something. He’s out for the third straight game tonight after a one game return on Tuesday.

Devlin Granberg in Double-A (327 PAs): .297/.364/.477/.841.
This year: .339/.476/.508/.983 with an insane 14:9 BB to K ratio.
His K rate is 11% and has never been higher than 20%. His walk rate is a ridiculous 17.2% this year. He'll swipe the occasional bag and can evidently play CF too. I get that he's old for a prospect and doesn't have any standout tools, but he's proven himself at every level and I hope he gets a chance in Worcester this year.

Walter walks the leadoff hitter on 4 straight balls. Walter got absolutely torched. It was clear from the start that he didn’t have it tonight. On the four pitch walk to start the game, nothing was even close, which is definitely abnormal for him.

Since his 2-24 start in April, Eduardo Lopez has gone 12-22 so far in May. 1 BB, 15 Ks in April and 4 BBs to 3 Ks in May.

Liu out after two innings. He did throw 40 innings over those two innings, so hopefully not an injury. Line looked good there.
On another note, Northcut homered AGAIN. 12 on the year now, which is #2 in the minor leagues.

Sale and Paxton both temporarily stopped throwing.
Sale due to a non-Covid medical issue.
Paxton due to elbow soreness.
Neither issue expected to keep them down for long, but does put them back a couple of weeks.

Another great start by Murphy: 6 IP, 2 H, 3 R (0 ER), 3 BB, 10 Ks.

Chris Murphy with 6 Ks through 3 innings. 3 unearned runs in the first inning after a home run to Josh Ockimey though. Unearned because Izzy Wilson just plain dropped a fly ball. Then he was pulled for Brandon Howlett.
Add: Now apparently it’s Nick Sogard in right field and Cannon at third according to the broadcast team. So Wilson started in right and was replaced by Howlett and now Howlett has been replaced by Sogard.

It’s still early, but Murphy has been doing a much better job against righties this year versus last year. We’ll see how it changes over the course of the season, but it’s a good start.
2021 OPS vs lefties: .401 2021 OPS vs righties: .914
2022 OPS vs lefties: .562 2022 OPS vs righties: .543

I get that all Nick Northcut does is hit home runs, but all the man does it hit home runs. He’s at 11 now in 21 games.

I’ve never seen a prospect go from an afterthought in a Low-A bullpen to completely eviscerating AA as a starter in the span of a year. It’s absolutely insane.

Downs continues his resurgence with a two-run home run in the seventh. His OPS is up to .878 now.

Downs got nailed on the back of the left hand with a pitch. Looks like he's in a lot of pain, but he's staying in the game and immediately swiped second.

The fact that the Red Sox didn't promote Jedixson Paez to start today is a travesty.

Yorke finally gets his first home run of the year. He hasn’t been hitting for power so far, so let’s hope this gets him started

Looking at the scouting reports on this site and the first month stats, it is a little hard for me to justify Jordan and 14 and Bonaci at 27. The are roughly the same age, playing on the same team and Bonaci is, so far, outperforming Jordan by a great deal at the plate. It isn't as if Jordan is thought to be a great fielder playing at a premium defensive position either. Must be because Jordan hit so well last year. Would expect the ratings to change significantly at the end of this month if they both continue to hit as they did during Aprlil. Numbers after a month of low-A baseball are not going to mean much (if anything) in regards to rankings. Bonaci might have a higher floor due to on-base skills, better speed, and defensive versatility, but Jordan's ceiling is in another stratosphere. Bonaci hits for no power either, which limits his ceiling of effectiveness as a major leaguer. I'd also hesitate to look too heavily into Jordan's numbers so far. Even with his struggles, he's been a bit unlucky. His strikeout rate is a pretty manageable 23%. Nothing to cheer about, but definitely not bad for a guy that had hit tool questions coming in. His BABIP is only .226 too. He's legitimately struggling to start the year, but it's not as bad as it looks (statistically at least).

Eddinson Paulino has four hits through five innings. None of it has been very hard contact, but he's putting the bat on the ball and finding the holes in the defense.
Uberstine had a very solid start. 5 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 3 K. Wasn't really missing bats, but limited hard contact and rarely let the ball leave the infield. The only run he let up was a weird play where the runner scored from second base on a grounder to Bonaci. The camera angle wasn't good, but the runner either caught Miller napping at first or he had an issue with the transfer.
