Overview
- The Red Sox called up Anthony Seigler on Wednesday after he hit .344 in May and raised his Triple-A Worcester season line to about .298 with a .896 OPS.
- Seigler, a 2018 first-round pick who made his big-league debut with Milwaukee in 2025, provides a left-handed, multi-positional option who can play catcher, the infield and corner outfield.
- Boston's promotion responds to roster instability caused by injuries to Nick Sogard and Trevor Story and the team’s need for a patient left-handed bat off the bench.
- The move renews scrutiny of the February trade that sent Kyle Harrison to Milwaukee, where Harrison has posted outstanding early-season numbers, leaving Boston to try to recoup value from its return.
- Seigler’s background includes repeated injury setbacks, strong minor-league walk rates and Navajo heritage, and the club will use this call-up to see if his Triple-A success translates to sustained major-league impact.
