Boston Red Sox infield prospect Yoan Moncada will be promoted to the major leagues on Friday.
Manager John Farrell indicated Wednesday morning that the 21-year-old would be promoted as "not just a pinch-runner" but to see regular action at third base as well. With Travis Shaw, Aaron Hill and Brock Holt all underwhelming on the hot corner for Boston, the uber-talented Cuban is looking like a must-own for the stretch run.
Moncada has slashed .298/.411/.518 with 15 dingers and 45 steals in 105 games (486 plate appearances) this season between High-A Salem and Double-A Portland.
