For the time being it appears that the Red Sox are going to lean heavily on Ceddanne Rafaela to man the position in Mayer’s absence. The Red Sox also called up David Hamilton to provide another option at second, but it’s clear that the majority of the playing time will go to Rafaela.

With Marcelo Mayer on the 10-day IL with a wrist sprain, the Red Sox are moving star outfielder Ceddanne Rafaela to at second base for the Dodgers series opener.
