Campbell began the 2025 season in Boston, but he appears poised to finish it with Triple-A Worcester. The Red Sox demoted the second baseman in June amid offensive and defensive struggles, and they’ve resisted bringing the 23-year-old back into the fold as a September call-up. Reflecting on his year to MassLive’s Chris Cotillo, Campbell noted that he hadn’t faced much professional adversity on his path to Boston. WooSox manager Chad Tracy told Cotillo that Campbell could become an “invaluable” utility player. Although he’s yet to consistently rediscover his power since the demotion, Campbell is batting .273/.382/.417 in 73 games.
