A top Red Sox prospect has suffered another setback.
High-A Greenville shortstop Mikey Romero suffered a back injury in the first inning of the Drive’s game on Thursday, according to WEEI’s Rob Bradford. This is reportedly the same injury he suffered at the beginning of this season.
The Red Sox picked Romero in the first round of the 2022 MLB Draft. He began his professional career in the Florida Complex League (FCL), but was promoted to Single-A Salem before the 2022 season ended.
