Outfielder Jhostynxon Garcia has been elevated from Double-A Portland to Triple-A Worcester, as reported by Andrew Parker of Beyond the Monster on Sunday afternoon. Garcia, at 22 years old, hasn’t been on fire recently, recording just 2 hits in his last 19 at-bats and accumulating five total bases over the past week.
Overall this season, the Boston Red Sox’s No. 6 prospect holds a .256 batting average alongside a .748 OPS. Nevertheless, the Venezuelan outfielder achieved consecutive walk-off hits last weekend, maintaining a .286 average with an .813 OPS over 28 games. In 2024, he batted .286 with an .892 OPS, amassing 23 home runs, 24 doubles, 66 RBIs, and 17 stolen bases across 107 games spanning Single-A, High-A, and Double-A. The Worcester Red Sox lineup already features top prospects like outfielder Roman Anthony and shortstop Marcelo Mayer.
Garcia’s addition—often referred to as “The Password”—enhances the WooSox’s star power in the near term, until one of them advances to the MLB. Parker also mentioned that outfielder Zach Ehrhard will transition from High-A Greenville to Double-A Portland to fill Garcia’s spot. Ehrhard was chosen by the Red Sox in the fourth round of the 2024 MLB Draft from Oklahoma State.
