Minor Lines 8/24: What does it mean that Kristian Campbell is playing in the outfield?

"While it feels like the bullpen on the Major League roster has a pretty large disparity between the high-leverage guys and the stinkers, Justin Slaten had another lockdown inning against Jacksonville ( Marlins AAA) on an afternoon where not many Jumbo Shrimp looked too great. This game had some tension in the late going as three straight pitchers allowed a run, but, luckily, the WooSox had gotten off to a 7-0 lead and got some balls batted into the stands from their infielders:"

"WAIT, not so fast on calling Kristian Campbell an infielder.... he was playing center field. It makes sense, as the Password is now onto greener pastures, Nate Eaton is up as well, and guys like Karson Simas, Max Ferguson and Mikey Romero are still getting used to Triple-A pitching. But I don't have to tell you the negative implications of this new millionaire playing a third position on the year after already struggling in 2025,"

The Worcester WooSox built a 7-0 lead with offensive help including Kristian Campbell and Mikey Romero, and Justin Slaten delivered another effective inning amid bullpen inconsistency. Campbell started in center field and finished with multiple hits despite roster movement and outfield congestion caused by promotions. The Portland Sea Dogs, depleted by promotions, fell behind early after Blake Wehunt yielded four runs and six hits and ultimately surrendered twelve runs while striking out fourteen times. Tyler Miller had three hits and Brooks Brannon hit a grand slam late, but the Sea Dogs could not recover. Austin Ehrlicher left early with an injury, forcing extended long-relief usage.
