Kristian Campbell’s promising start to his MLB career turned into prolonged struggles at the plate and on the field over the last couple of months, prompting the Red Sox to demote him to Triple-A on Thursday.
But the Red Sox remain optimistic that Campbell, who entered the season as one of the top prospects in baseball, will have a successful MLB career. For now, though, Alex Cora and the team want to see him work on his game away from the bright lights of the majors.
“I think it’s a good time for him to reset, to be honest with you,” Cora told reporters.
