AutoDraft Pro AI

Boston Red Sox prospect Jhostynxon Garcia, nicknamed "The Password," is set to make his Major League debut on Friday against the New York Yankees, batting fifth and starting in centerfield. The 22-year-old slugger was called up from Triple-A Worcester where he posted a .932 OPS in 66 games and is considered Boston's third-best prospect. Manager Alex Cora noted Garcia's aggressive approach at the plate, ability to drive the ball to right-center, and strong defensive skills, adding that he is expected to start every game against left-handed pitchers given his .964 OPS against southpaws this season. His call-up addresses the team's outfield needs while Wilyer Abreu and Rob Refsnyder are on the injured list.
