Red Sox call up Rafaela, touted prospect picks up first MLB hit

Ceddanne Rafaela entered Monday's game against the Houston Astros in the top of the eighth inning, playing center field. With a runner on and one out, Rafaela dropped a single into right field on the first pitch he saw from Jose Urquidy in the bottom of the eighth: his first MLB hit. Rafaela was promoted from Triple-A Worcester on Monday after outfielder Wilyer Abreu, who made his major debut last week, was placed on the paternity list. Rafaela is ranked by MLB.com as the 77th-best prospect in baseball and the third-best in the Red Sox minor league system.
