Boston Red Sox shortstop prospect Ceddanne Rafaela had six stolen bases in a game for Double-A Portland. He was 2-for-3 with two walks in the game. The 22-year-old has been great on the basepaths this season, with 16 stolen bases in 20 games. He isn't swinging the bat well to start the season, with a .272 wOBA and a 24.6% walk rate. He plays elite defense at multiple positions, but the Red Sox front office will want better performance at the plate before Rafaela gets the callup. The Curaao native can debut this season, but with depth in the majors, he likely won't make a fantasy impact.

Boston Red Sox utility prospect Ceddanne Rafaela will open the campaign in Double-A Portland. Ranked as the No. 86 overall prospect per MLB Pipeline, Rafaela struggled this spring. He managed just seven hits and a .454 OPS in 32 at-bats. Still, Rafaela's defensive prowess should have him ascend to the major leagues before long. He spent most of 2022 in center field and has excelled at shortstop, second base, and third base, demonstrating the ability to plug in anywhere. Rafaela is no offensive slouch either, slashing .299/.342/.539 with 21 home runs and 28 stolen bases in 116 minor-league appearances last season.
