Mayer was removed from Wednesday's game against the Phillies due to right wrist discomfort, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mayer went 0-for-1 with a walk and a run scored before his wrist forced him out of the game in the fifth inning. The severity of his injury is unclear, but a day off for the Red Sox on Thursday will give him extra time to recover and possibly be ready for Friday's series opener against the Dodgers.

Mayer went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Friday's 5-4 win over the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Mayer had a run-scoring double for the second straight game, both of which helped the Red Sox come back after the Rays had taken a lead. He's set to become the primary second baseman after the team activated third baseman Alex Bregman from the injured list Friday. Mayer, who is batting .225 through 38 games, has hit safely in three straight games, going 4-for-11 with two doubles, two RBI and two runs scored.

Manager Alex Cora said Friday that Mayer will get the majority of the playing time at second base moving forward, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 22-year-old's roster spot appeared in question with Alex Bregman (quadriceps) returning from the injured list Friday, but the Red Sox will keep Mayer in the majors and shift him to the middle infield. The rookie has seen most of his playing time thus far at the hot corner, but he has yet to get on track at the plate with a .234/.272/.421 slash line and 29.8 percent strikeout rate through 37 games. Mayer is starting at the keystone and batting seventh Friday versus the Rays.

Mayer will remain on the Red Sox roster after the team optioned David Hamilton to Triple-A Worcester on Thursday to clear a spot for Alex Bregman (quadriceps), Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bregman's return Friday was going to present a roster crunch, but it's Mayer who will stay in the majors. The 22-year-old top prospect will likely occupy the strong side of a platoon at second base with Romy Gonzalez. Mayer had a key run-scoring double Thursday during Boston's three-run seventh inning.

Mayer is again absent from the lineup for Monday's contest against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
The Red Sox are facing a lefty (Austin Gomber) for the third straight day. The lefty-swinging Mayer has been out of the lineup for all three contests, though he did receive two plate appearances off the bench in Sunday's win over the Nationals. Mayer is 4-for-22 with a 7:0 K:BB early on versus southpaws at the big-league level. Nate Eaton is again at third base Monday.

Mayer is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus Washington, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mayer had started four straight games after coming off the bereavement list Monday, but he'll get at least a partial rest day Saturday against Nationals lefty Mitchell Parker. With Mayer out of the lineup, Nate Eaton is starting at third base and batting leadoff while Romy Gonzalez is playing second base.

The Red Sox reinstated Mayer (personal) from the bereavement list Monday. Mayer will start at third base and bat sixth in the Red Sox's series opener with the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
After being recalled from Triple-A Worcester on Friday when Mayer was deactivated, infielder Nick Sogard will head back to the minors to clear room for Mayer's return to the 26-man active roster. Before stepping away from the team and missing three games while tending to the personal matter, the 22-year-old rookie slashed .208/.262/.429 with four home runs and seven RBI through his first 84 big-league plate appearances. At least until Alex Bregman (quadriceps) returns from the injured list, Mayer is poised to serve as the Red Sox's primary third baseman.

Mayer went 3-for-4 with a triple, one RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Mayer went 0-for-11 with one walk and four strikeouts over his previous four games. He had an RBI single in the 10th inning to briefly put the Red Sox ahead Tuesday, but they ultimately lost in the bottom of the frame. Mayer continues to receive steady playing time versus right-handed pitchers, but this was his first multi-hit effort since June 11 versus the Rays. He's batting .216 with a .718 OPS, four home runs, seven RBI, 12 runs scored, three doubles, one triple and no steals over his first 26 major-league games.
