The Boston Red Sox have decided to send infielder Kristian Campbell to Triple-A, according to sources. Campbell, who signed an eight-year contract for 60 million dollars this spring, had a promising start to the season.
At the end of April, the player was recording a batting average of .301/.407/.495, which earned him the American League Rookie of the Month award.
However, his performance has decreased, showing an average of .159/.243/.222 since then. With this decision, Campbell, 22, will have the opportunity to readjust in Triple-A Worcester. In general, the rookie has a batting average of .223 with six home runs and 21 RBIs in 67 games. He has been a starter in 54 games at second base, in addition to having eight starts in the outfield, seven of them in center field and one in left field.
