6 years agoBoston Red Sox first baseman Sam Travis has been demoted to Triple-A following the activation of Andrew Benintendi off the bereavement list. Travis is currently Boston's fifth best prospect according to MLB Pipeline and has solid minor league numbers, hitting .285 with 34 home runs, 195 RBI and 31 stolen bases over five seasons. However, he has struggled at the MLB level, hitting just .250 with four RBI and a stolen base over 38 games. Travis has potential but he is blocked by the likes of Mitch Moreland and J.D. Martinez. With the Trade Deadline approaching perhaps he is moved to a power-needy team, for now he holds no fantasy value and needs to be left on the waiver wire.--Dan Fappiano
