It was his second of the season. The 22-year-old made the team out of spring training, surpassing former top prospect Vaughn Grissom and utility player David Hamilton. His inclusion on the roster also bumped Alex Bregman to third base and Rafael Devers to designated hitter in a controversial move.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_pm2q0wpta\">Campbell is ranked as the No. 6 prospect in baseball, per MLB Pipeline.

He had only 19 games of Triple-A experience before getting called up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_nkbdanwco\">The\u00a0Red Sox\u00a0will finish out this series with the Orioles before returning home for their home opener on Friday against the St. Louis Cardinals.
