Marcelo Mayer's return to Fenway Park delayed by injury setback

Marcelo Mayer, the former top prospect of the Boston Red Sox, will not return to Fenway Park this weekend as expected due to a setback in his recovery from a foot injury. Mayer had recently completed four rehab games with Triple-A Sacramento and was slated to make his Giants debut during their series against the Red Sox. However, he aggravated a bone bruise, leading Giants manager Tony Vitello to state that Mayer would take the weekend off to reassess his condition. Mayer, who was traded to the Giants earlier this month after struggling this season with Boston, has faced ongoing injury issues that have hindered his professional appearances.
