Red Sox promote Tsung-Che Cheng amid Marcelo Mayer's injury

The Boston Red Sox promoted infielder Tsung-Che Cheng to the major league team on June 28, 2026, after Marcelo Mayer was placed on the injured list. Cheng, 25, has a solid track record at Triple-A, posting a.254 batting average with seven home runs this season. He previously played for Taiwan in the World Baseball Classic, where he hit.333 and stole four bases. In his debut against the New York Yankees, Cheng recorded his first RBI and hit his first major league hit in the fourth inning. How long Cheng remains with the team will depend on the severity of Mayer's injury along with the status of other infield players who are currently sidelined.
