The Boston Red Sox have promoted their top prospect Franklin Arias to Triple-A Worcester. The move comes after his strong performance at Double-A this season.
The Red Sox promoted Arias to Triple-A Worcester following game action on Thursday night. The 20-year-old infielder had been leading the Eastern League with a .994 OPS and a .318 batting average at the time of his promotion.
Arias, signed out of Venezuela in 2023, hit his 19th career home run in the game that preceded the promotion. He described the news as a childhood dream and said he was grateful for the opportunity.
The promotion places Arias one step from the major leagues. His performance in the coming weeks at the higher level could influence Boston's plans for him amid the club's playoff push.
