Mayer (wrist) served as Single-A Salem's designated hitter in Tuesday's 1-0 win over Delmarva and went 1-for-4 with his fourth stolen base of the season.
EDGE Analysis
Mayer was sidelined for about two and a half weeks at Salem due to a sore right wrist before he was cleared to return to action Monday. Though he was eased back into the mix as a DH on Monday, it shouldn't be long before he's cleared to resume playing shortstop.

Mayer has missed a week of action with a sore right wrist, Alex Speier of the Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Red Sox don't know exactly how Mayer picked up the injury, but they have taken the cautious route with one of their top prospects. He will miss a few more days, but the injury is not considered serious, so it should not be too long before he is back in the lineup.

Mayer picked up five plate appearances for the Red Sox this spring, going 0-for-4 with a walk and two strikeouts.
EDGE Analysis
He's 19 and has never played above rookie ball, so no one expected Mayer to put up numbers in spring training. Last year's No. 4 overall draft pick, he's expected to open 2022 in Low-A, and it'll be worth watching to see whether he can maintain last season's impressive walk rate (14 percent) while getting to his power more often in game action.

Mayer agreed to a contract Thursday with the Red Sox that contains a $6.66 million signing bonus, Chad Jennings of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mayer, an 18-year-old shortstop from Chula Vista, Calif., was the No. 4 overall pick in this year's first-year player draft. After signing, Mayer took batting practice and participated in fielding drills prior to Thursday's game against the Yankees. The next stop is Fort Myers, where the 18-year-old will prepare for his professional debut in the rookie-level Florida Complex League.
