Password change: Red Sox call up prospect Jhostynxon Garcia ahead of series vs. Yankees

Another exciting Red Sox prospect has been given his first call-up to the Major League level.

Jhostynxon Garcia, who was given the enjoyable nickname “The Password” in 2021 due to the unusual spelling of his name, received the call-up on Thursday afternoon prior to Boston’s pivotal four-game series against the Yankees in New York. The news was reported and confirmed by Tommy Cassell of the Worcester Telegram & Gazette, and MassLive’s Katie Morrison-O’Day.

“[I] had the urge to cry once I heard the news,” he said via WooSox coach Iggy Suarez’s translation.
