"According to an initial report from Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic (as well as multiple other sources), the Red Sox have designated infielder Abraham Toro for assignment. David Hamilton has been recalled to fill the roster spot, per McCaffrey. The Red Sox have designated Abraham Toro for assignment, according to a source. David Hamilton has been recalled.- Jen McCaffrey (@jcmccaffrey) August 21, 2025"
"The recent addition of first baseman Nathaniel Lowe from free agency after being waived by the Nationals - and his subsequent home run in his first game with Boston on Tuesday - likely cleared the path for Toro's exit. Though he had started more games at first base for the Red Sox than anyone else in 2025 (67), Toro was unable to provide a consistent enough threat at the plate to make up for the season-ending injury to regular first baseman Triston Casas."
"Red Sox Boston is set to recall David Hamilton. The Red Sox are reportedly making a change at first base on the verge of a pivotal series against the Yankees. Hamilton returns to the big league club after spending 10 days with Triple-A Worcester. The 27-year-old has hit .174 in 69 games with the Red Sox in 2025."
Abraham Toro was designated for assignment and David Hamilton was recalled to the Red Sox major-league roster. Toro, 28, posted a .244/.294/.378 slash line with seven home runs in 76 games but slumped to a .182 average since the All-Star break after a stronger first half. The signing and immediate impact of Nathaniel Lowe reduced Toro's role despite his team-leading 67 starts at first base in 2025. Toro could not reliably replace the injured regular first baseman Triston Casas offensively. Hamilton, 27, returns after 10 days at Triple-A Worcester and has hit .174 in 69 games in 2025.
