Kristian Campbell is in the midst of an 11-game hitting streak at Triple-A Worcester. He has 13 hits, including two homers, in his past seven games. The Red Sox demoted the 23-year-old to Worcester on June 20 after an extended slump.

To most eyes, the Red Sox made some underwhelming improvements to the team at the trade deadline. But to the likes of manager Alex Cora and shortstop Trevor Story, they feel they have improved on an already solid squad.
