Jhostynxon Garcia received his first Major League promotion to the Boston Red Sox ahead of a four-game series against the Yankees. He earned the call after hitting .303 with 17 home runs and a .932 OPS at Triple-A Worcester, moving up to third on MLB.com's list of Red Sox minor-leaguers following earlier top-prospect call-ups. Garcia began 2025 at Double-A and has already been promoted twice this season. The Red Sox plan to use him as an outfielder and have started giving him first-base reps in Worcester as a possible solution to replacing Triston Casas. Wilyer Abreu is headed to the injured list.
Jhostynxon Garcia, who was given the enjoyable nickname " The Password" in 2021 due to the unusual spelling of his name, received the call-up on Thursday afternoon prior to Boston's pivotal four-game series against the Yankees in New York. The news was reported and confirmed by Tommy Cassell of the Worcester Telegram & Gazette, and MassLive's Katie Morrison-O'Day. "[I] had the urge to cry once I heard the news," he said via WooSox coach Iggy Suarez's translation. "For sure excited."
Garcia is certainly more than an creative nickname as he was hitting .303 at Triple A Worcester with 17 home runs and a .932 OPS prior to getting the call. After the earlier call-ups in 2025 of Boston's former trio of top prospects (Kristian Campbell, Marcelo Mayer, and Roman Anthony), Garcia moved up to third on MLB.com's list of the top Red Sox players in the team's minor league system. Garcia joining the Red Sox will be offset by the report that Wilyer Abreu is heading to the Injured List, according to MassLive's Chris Cotillo.
