1 week agoMarcelo Mayer set to take over No. 11 from Rafael Devers
Marcelo Mayer has been assigned jersey No. 11 for the Red Sox, replacing Rafael Devers' vacated number after Devers was traded to the Giants.
Eldridge tore up the Double-A level this year with a .280/.350/.512 slash line (147 wRC+) in 140 trips to the plate to start the season before being promoted to Triple-A, where he spent most of the year and posted a .249/.322/.514 slash line. That was good for a wRC+ of just 105 thanks to the inflated offensive environment of the Pacific Coast League, but Eldridge's 18 homers in 66 games is hard to argue with.
