Career Notes:
Was very age-advanced throughout
his minors career with Oakland and St. Louis, where he was often
considered to be among the top 20 prospects in those
organizations.
Had a successful 2018 season in the majors but took a step back
in 2019. Left Cardinals spring training without public
explanation in early March 2019, got released, and signed a
minor league deal with Boston. Played at the Alternate Training
Site for most of 2020, but was called up on August 31 and played
well when healthy. However, missed a few games with a hamstring
strain, then went on the IL for the season's final week with a
lower back strain. Was outrighted off the 40-man roster in
December 2021. Opened 2021 at the Alternate Training Site.

super utility player.
