Red Sox rookie infielder Marcelo Mayer has been out since July 23 with a wrist injury and the hope was he would return at some point this season. Sunday, though, Red Sox manager Alex Cora told reporters that isn't going to happen. Mayer will have surgery to repair the right wrist injury, Cora said, and will miss the rest of the 2025 season.

BOSTON (AP) — Boston Red Sox infielder Marcelo Mayer said Sunday that he’ll have season-ending surgery on his right wrist. The 22-year-old Mayer injured the wrist in late July, got an injection to try and come back, but decided to have surgery. He said he has a tear that hadn’t improved with the anti-inflammatory injection.
