MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- The Boston Red Sox will place infielder Curtis Mead on the ten-day injured list due to a broken wrist, with infielder Nick Sogard expected to be called up as his replacement.
- Mead was injured after being hit by a pitch during his debut game for the Red Sox and was removed from the game shortly afterward.
- This injury comes shortly after the Red Sox traded left-hander Connelly Early to improve their infield and lineup, marking a setback for their plans.
- The team may pursue additional moves before the August 3 trade deadline, especially considering shortstop Trevor Story's ongoing recovery from hernia surgery and Mead's absence.
- The Red Sox's need to strengthen their infield could increase, potentially leading to further acquisitions as they prepare for the stretch run.
