Red Sox to place newly acquired Curtis Mead on injured list
The Boston Globe • • sports
Key Points:
- Red Sox infielder Curtis Mead will be placed on the injured list after being hit on the left hand/wrist by a 95-mph fastball from Athletics pitcher Jack Perkins.
- Mead initially stayed in the game but left before the fifth inning; initial X-rays were negative, but further evaluation prompted the IL move.
- Mead was recently acquired from the Nationals in exchange for Connelly Early.
- The Red Sox plan to call up Nick Sogard from Triple-A Worcester to fill Mead’s roster spot, with Sogard expected to join the team by Wednesday.
