Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora provided a Marcelo Mayer update ahead of Friday's game against the Miami Marlins.

Red Sox rookie infielder Marcelo Mayer has been out since July 23 with a wrist injury and the hope was he would return at some point this season. Sunday, though, Red Sox manager Alex Cora told reporters that isn't going to happen. Mayer will have surgery to repair the right wrist injury, Cora said, and will miss the rest of the 2025 season.

Marcelo Mayer feared the worst when he injured his right wrist on July 23. On Sunday, those fears were confirmed.
