Red Sox promote prospect Jhostynxon Garcia, place OF Wilyer Abreu on injured list

NEW YORK (AP) — After calling up highly-rated prospects Roman Anthony and Marcelo Mayer in June, the Red Sox added another prospect Thursday when they recalled outfielder Jhostynxon Garcia from Triple-A Worcester. Garcia was called up to replace Wilyer Abreu, who was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right calf strain. Abreu originally was injured Sunday and the move is retroactive to Monday. The 22-year-old Garcia signed with the Red Sox as a non-drafted free agent from Venezuela in 2019 and is Boston's No. 3 prospect according to which also ranks him as the 77th overall prospect in baseball. He was given the nickname 'The Password' by fans on social media due to the spelling of his first name. 'He swings a lot,' manager Alex Cora said about Garcia before the Red Sox opened a four-game series with the Yankees. 'Drives the ball to right-center, can do that with two strikes. He's a great defender and a good baserunner.' Garcia was not in the starting lineup Thursday but is likely to start in center field Friday. Garcia has split this season between Double-A Portland and Worcester and hit .289 with 20 homers, 73 RBIs and an .875 OPS while primarily starting in center field. With Worcester, Garcia is hitting .303 with 17 homers and 56 RBIs. Abreu is hitting .253 with a team-leading 22 homers and 69 RBIs in 108 games. Cora said he did not get any testing but is optimistic Abreu will miss the minimum amount of time. 'I think it's the right move and hopefully he'll be back with us as soon as possible,' Cora said. Promoting Garcia and putting Abreu on the IL was among five roster moves for the Red Sox, who began Thursday with eight losses in their last 12 games and trail the Yankees by two games for the AL's first wild-card. Infielder David Hamilton was recalled from Worcester along with pitcher Richard Fitts. Boston also designated infielder Abraham Toro for assignment. Hamilton, who hit eighth and started at second base Thursday, is hitting .174 with three homers and 12 RBIs in 69 games this season. He also has 17 stolen bases in 21 chances after stealing 33 bases in 98 games last season. Toro hit .239 with seven homers and 27 RBIs in 77 games. He batted .271 before the All-Star break but hit .171 over his last 25 games. 'We're not here without him,' Cora said about Toro. 'He did an amazing job.' Fitts is 1-4 with a 4.83 ERA in 10 starts for the Red Sox, who acquired him from the Yankees for Alex Verdugo in December 2023. He last started for Boston on July 28 in Minnesota and was 2-1 with a 4.00 ERA in six starts at Worcester. Walker Buehler, who is 7-7 with a 5.40 ERA in 22 starts, is slated to start Monday in Baltimore but Cora said the Red Sox had not talked about it yet.

Revealed! Noah Okafor's Fantasy Premier League price

Leeds United's summer signing, Noah Okafor, has been priced at £5.5m in Fantasy Premier League, raising eyebrows among fantasy managers around the world who are excited by the forward's potential. The Swiss international joined the Whites from AC Milan earlier today, becoming Leeds' ninth arrival in what has been a busy summer of recruitment at Elland Road. Okafor arrives with Champions League experience and a reputation for versatility in attack. Having played both centrally and in wide positions in Italy and Austria, his dynamic style could prove valuable in Daniel Farke's system as Leeds look to build on Monday's 1-0 win over Everton. The 25-year-old played 21 times last season, including five Champions League appearances, as he split his time between AC Milan and Napoli — the latter of whom won the Serie A title.

Bayern Munich missed out on 'top player' as Toni Kroos says he's 'hurt' by midfielder's Saudi Arabia transfer

Kroos said Bayern missed out on signing Millot Bavarians reportedly declined due to attitude concerns French midfielder joined Al-Ahli for €30m Follow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱 WHAT HAPPENED? Former Real Madrid midfielder Kroos used his podcast to criticise Bayern's transfer strategy, focusing on Millot's summer move. The 23-year-old midfielder left Stuttgart for €30 million (£25m/$33m) to join Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli, despite being available to Bayern for just €20m (£17m/$22m) via a release clause only for European teams, according to Bild. Kroos praised Millot as 'a top player' and claimed the Bavarians missed a big opportunity to strengthen their squad. THE BIGGER PICTURE Bayern are under scrutiny for failing to bolster their midfield depth, with both Kroos and Harry Kane voicing concerns over the thin squad. Millot was reportedly offered to the Bundesliga champions before the Saudi move, but the club declined due to doubts over his attitude. Several European clubs, including Atletico Madrid, were also interested, making Bayern's refusal stand out even more. WHAT TONI KROOS SAID The 2014 World Cup winner used his podcast 'Einfach mal Luppen' to reflect on Bayern's transfer approach, pointing out a major opportunity they let slip. "I would have signed him if I were Bayern. Millot is truly a very, very good player. He was crucial at VfB. A top player," said Kroos. "That hurt me a bit. He'll probably line his pockets for two years and then come back and see what he can do. He's a very good player with a straightforward decision. I was annoyed." WHAT NEXT FOR BAYERN? Millot has signed a three-year deal with Al-Ahli, where he earns around €10m (£8m/$11m) net annually. For Bayern, the pressure grows to address their squad depth and avoid more missed opportunities in upcoming transfer windows, as they prepare to kick off their Bundesliga campaign against RB Leipzig this weekend.
