Red Sox to give Jhostynxon Garcia, one of their top prospects, reps at first base

“The Password” has been given permission to move around the diamond.

Highly-touted Red Sox prospect and outfielder Jhostynxon Garcia will get reps at first base in Triple-A Worcester at some point this season, Red Sox farm director Brian Abraham told The Athletic’s Jen McCaffrey. However, it isn’t clear what date Garcia will start getting reps at first base, with Kristian Campbell and Vaughn Grissom getting more run at the position with the WooSox as of late.

Still, Boston’s willingness to move Garcia to the infield is an interesting development for his long-term future with the franchise.
