Rookie infielder Marcelo Mayer hoped to get back on the field to help the Red Sox in their final push for the playoffs. Instead, he will undergo season-ending surgery on his ailing right wrist in the coming days,

Manager Alex Cora revealed Sunday that Mayer will miss the rest of the season with a wrist injury that requires surgery, per Christopher Smith of Mass Live. It is expected to be a three-month recovery period, meaning he will at least be available for spring training ahead of the 2026 campaign.

Marcelo Mayer feared the worst when he injured his right wrist on July 23. On Sunday, those fears were confirmed.
