Matt Lloyd's Red Sox Debut Eyed for Infield Boost

0:00It's April 30th, from game day to every day. This is Boston Red Sox News today, powered by AI. Boston Red Sox just brought back Matt Lloyd from the injured list after grabbing him in the AAA phase of the Rule 5 draft last December. They started him with the Wu Sox in Worcester, but he only got three games in before landing on the shelf. Earlier this week, Worcester activated the 30-year-old, and now he's in line for a potential call-up to help the Big Lee squad right away. It brings versatility to the table, handling first base, third base, and the outfield. Last season in the minors, he slashed 271 with an 804 OPS, and he's already three for 10 this year in AAA. Meanwhile, the Red Sox hot corner is ice cold. Caleb Durbin has not heated stride offensively, while Andrew Monasterio and Isaiah Kiner for Lefa are both under 230 at the plate. It'd be tough for Lloyd to do worse than that crew, so expect Boston to eye him as a quick fix to spark the infield and keep their momentum rolling.
