Boston’s Roman Anthony, Kristian Campbell and Marcelo Mayer headline the prospects participating in the Spring Breakout from March 13-16.

The 30 big league organizations released their rosters Thursday for the second year of the Breakout. There will be 16 games at spring training camps in Florida and Arizona. Red Sox prospects are scheduled to play Tampa Bay prospects next Thursday at 7:05 p.m. in Port Charlotte, Florida.

Anthony, 20, had an .894 OPS with 18 homers, 65 RBI and 21 steals in 119 games at Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester last year. Campbell, 22, had a .330 average, .439 on-base percentage and .997 OPS with 20 homers, 77 RBI and 24 steals in 115 games at three levels. Mayer, 22, hit .307 with an .850 OPS in 77 games with Portland.

Two other members of the 2024 Sea Dogs — pitcher Hunter Dobbins and outfielder Jhostynxon Garcia — are the other invitees from major league camp on Boston’s 27-man roster for the Spring Breakout. The roster also includes highly rated infield prospects Franklin Arias and Yoeilin Cespedes, outfielder Miguel Bleis and pitchers David Sandlin and Payton Tolle.

Selected players must have rookie status: no more than 130 at-bats, 50 innings pitched or 45 days on an active big league roster.

YANKEES: Pitcher Luis Gil will be sidelined for at least three months because of his lat strain, and designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton would have surgery on his elbows only as a last resort, according to general manager Brian Cashman.

Infielder DJ LeMahieu told reporters Thursday he has a grade 1 or 2 left calf strain and will be sidelined for several weeks in his fifth straight injury-hampered season.

Gil, the reigning AL Rookie of the Year, cut short a bullpen session last Friday because of tightness in his pitching shoulder, and the 26-year-old right-hander went to New York for a second MRI that revealed a high-grade lat strain.

“As long as we handle it right, we’ll get him back sometime in the summer,” Cashman said. ”But he’s going to be down for a long time, obviously. Being a starter, he’s got six weeks minimum of no throw, and obviously it could be longer if it takes longer. They’ll reimage and re-MRI it and see where he’s at during that rest period. So, is it six, is it going to be seven weeks, is it eight weeks, whatever, and then we’ll get him going, and then he’s got to go through flat-ground throwing program and obviously bullpens and then rehab games, so you’re talking three months.”

Gil was 15-7 with a 3.50 ERA in 29 starts last year, striking out 171 and walking a major league-high 77 in 151 2/3 innings. Marcus Stroman likely will replace him in a starting rotation that includes Gerrit Cole, Max Fried, Carlos Rodón and Clarke Schmidt.

Stanton said on Feb. 17 after reporting to camp that he had not swung a bat in three or four weeks because of elbow pain. The Yankees said he has been in New York, where he received a second round of platelet-rich plasma injections in both of his elbows.

Cashman said he expected Stanton to return to training camp by the weekend.

“We’ll clearly look forward to getting him back at some point, but obviously in the near term, that won’t be the case,” Cashman said.

Surgery is not yet being contemplated for the 35-year-old designated hitter, a five-time All-Star.
