Earns Opening Day spot

March 23, 2025
Campbell has earned a spot on Boston's Opening Day roster, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Campbell will crack the team's initial 26-man roster, as expected, likely slotting in as the starting second baseman most games. The 22-year-old is one of Boston's top prospects, and although he batted .167 with 18 strikeouts over 48 at-bats in 20 games during the spring, Campbell will get the nod Thursday. He'll likely cede an occasional start to David Hamilton at second base, but the Red Sox likely wouldn't have Campbell open the season on their major-league roster if they didn't have every intention of giving him an extended run in the lineup.
