The 23-year-old is batting .514 with a .564 and an 1.850 OPS. He has 13 RBI and 15 runs scored.
Tibbs was acquired by Boston last June in a trade that sent Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants . He played in 30 games for the Portland Sea Dogs before the Red Sox traded Tibbs and Zach Ehrhard to the Dodgers for Dustin May .
May, who signed a one-year deal with the St. Louis Cardinals in the offseason, has struggled to begin 2026. The veteran right-hander is 0-2 with a 15.95 ERA.
