Boston Red Sox: Injuries lead to call up of prospect Tzu-Wei Lin
The Boston Red Sox have fallen victim to depth problems multiple times this
year. On Saturday, more injuries created more problems. Infielder Josh
Rutledge was placed on the seven-day disabled list. To take his place, the
Red Sox have called up prospect Tzu-Wei Lin.
红袜队本季数度因板凳深度问题所扰。在星期六，更多的伤兵也制造更多问题。
内野手 Josh Rutledge 被放在七天脑震荡伤兵名单上。红袜队选择叫上林子伟
替代他的位置。
Lin has always been a defensive-minded prospect. He has a slick glove at
shortstop and can cover second and third base, as well as some outfield. The
23-year-old has some speed, but after that wasn’t seen as much of an
offensive threat.
林一直都是个防守型的新秀。他在游击的防守非常惬意，也能支应二垒与三垒的守备，
也有一点外野的守备能力。这位23岁的新秀拥有速度，但他在攻击不被认为具有太多
威胁性。
In fact, Lin boasted a career .235 batting average. The left-handed hitter
has looked completely different in 2017 though.
Playing all season for the Double-A Portland Sea Dogs, Lin has a
.302/.379/.491 slash line. While it may be a small sample size (159 at-bats),
it’s hard to argue with what he’s done.
事实上，林的生涯打击率为.235。但这位左打者在今年却完全脱胎换骨。
今年整季都在2A的海狗队，林缴出.302/.379/.491的打击三围。也许这是属于小样本，
但你没有办法否认他至今的表现。
Lin has nine doubles and three triples, while already mashing a career-best
five home runs. He has 19 runs batted in and 31 runs scored, as well as eight
steals on the year.
林并且有9支二垒安、3支三垒安，以及轰出生涯最佳的5发全垒打。19分打点、31分得
分，并跑出8盗。
While it’s definitely been a breakout season for Lin, the call up was still
a surprise. As Chris Hatfield of SoxProspects pointed out, the move makes the
most sense due to his Rule 5 eligibility.
这对林来说是个突破的赛季，这个call-up对林来说仍就是个惊喜。就像 SoxProspects
的 Chris Hatfield 所指出的，这个升降因为林的规则五资格而显得合理许多。
Lin had to be added to the 40-man roster now though, which means someone was
taken off. In this case, it was Brock Holt. No, Holt wasn’t cut, but he was
placed on the 60-day disabled list. Anyone on the 60-day DL doesn’t count
towards the 40-man roster.
林将会被放入四十人名单，这似乎代表某个人会被移出。这一次，显然会是
Brock Holt。但他没有被移出，而是被放到60天DL（60天DL并不算是40人名单的一员）。
It’s unclear how long Lin will be in the Majors. The severity of Rutledge’s
injury is still up-in-the-air. Even then though, how often Lin will see the
field is a mystery. His versatility should help him find a way into the
lineup a few times though.
目前仍不清楚林子伟会待在大联盟多久。Rutledge 脑震荡的严重性目前仍未知。
但即便如此，林能有多少上场机会仍是个谜团。但他的功能性将会使他获得几次
进入先发打序的机会。
Injuries have definitely been a problem for the Red Sox in 2017. Sometimes
they lead to a player getting a chance he normally wouldn’t have gotten.
Tzu-Wei Lin is in that situation now, and it’ll be very interesting to see
how he reacts.
伤兵显然在今年对红袜造成影响。有时他们会找向那些理应不会获得多少机会的球员。
林子伟现在就身处这个情况，这将会是件趣事去看他如何应对。
