Triple-A Worcester placed Campbell (lat) on the 7-day injured list Tuesday.
Campbell hadn't played since last Wednesday due to the left lat strain, and his move to the IL likely means that Worcester is no longer counting on the 22-year-old to return before its regular season ends Sunday. The injury brings an end to a whirlwind campaign for Campbell, who opened the season at High-A Greenville and received two promotions while slashing .330/.439/.558 with 20 home runs and 24 stolen bases in 519 plate appearances across three levels. His lat injury isn't believed to be a major concern, so he should head into spring training at full strength.

Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: Tweaks shoulder Wednesday
Rotowire
Campbell was removed from Triple-A Worcester's game Wednesday versus Syracuse after feeling a spasm in his left shoulder while running the bases, Tommy Cassell of the Worcester Telegram & Gazette reports. He was later diagnosed with left lat soreness, according to Alex Speier of The Boston Globe.
Worcester manager Chad Tracy said he's unsure if Campbell will be able to play Thursday, but the lat injury is considered "very minor" and isn't expected to keep the infield prospect out for the season. The 22-year-old's prospect stock has gained plenty of helium during a banner 2024 campaign in which he's slashed .330/.439/.558 with 20 home runs and 24 stolen bases in 519 plate appearances across three levels.
