Brock Holt - 2B - Red Sox

Playing against his former team, Brock Holt went 2-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored in the rout of the Pirates on Thursday.

Maybe the Red Sox dodged a bullet with Will Middlebrooks' injury last night, but we're not so sure yet. If Middlebrooks suffers more setbacks with his wrist, Holt would battle Pedro Ciriaco and Drew Sutton for time at third base. If not, then Holt is probably out of luck for a job, since he has options left and Ciriaco doesn't.

Brock Holt - 2B - Red Sox

Red Sox acquired INF Brock Holt from the Pirates in the Joel Hanrahan deal.

Holt hit .292 (19-for-65) in 24 games with the Pirates this season and owns a .317/.381/.427 batting line over four seasons in the minors. The 24-year-old doesn't have much in the way of power and he's not an efficient baserunner, but he has a good approach at the plate. He could make it as a backup middle infielder.

Brock Holt - 2B - Red Sox

Brock Holt will remain with the Pirates even after Neil Walker (lower back) returns to the lineup.

Holt has been the Pirates' regular second baseman with Walker out, and isn't going to be optioned. Look for him to split time with Clint Barmes at shortstop after posting a .409 on-base percentage in his first six games in the majors.

Brock Holt - 2B - Red Sox

Pirates purchased the contract of 2B Brock Holt from Triple-A Indianapolis.

Holt earned the promotion by posting a .406 on-base percentage between two levels of the minors. He could push for a part-time role in Pittsburgh with Clint Barmes struggling.
