Updated on June 27, 2026 at 4:30pm

Cheng went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double and an RBI in Friday's 6-1 win over the Yankees.

Cheng was recalled from Triple-A Worcester on Friday after the Red Sox placed Marcelo Mayer (forearm) on the injured list. The former celebrated his Red Sox debut with an RBI groundout in the second inning and a 407-foot double to center field in the fourth. With both Mayer and Trevor Story (abdomen) on the injured list, Cheng is line for more work in the short term, including Saturday as a member of Boston's starting lineup. He slashed .254/.351/.424 with seven homers and 18 RBI in 240 plate appearances with the WooSox.
