Curtis Mead, the new infielder for the Boston Red Sox, suffered a broken left wrist in his first game with the team. The injury occurred during a game against the Athletics on Monday, when Mead was hit by a Jack Perkins fastball.
Mead had joined the Red Sox after being traded from the Washington Nationals over the weekend. Despite the injury, Mead has had a successful season so far, with 17 home runs, 48 RBIs, and a .253 batting average in 88 games.
The Red Sox will place Mead on the injured list, and he will undergo further evaluation and treatment. Mead expressed his disappointment with the injury, saying it ‘kind of doesn’t feel real.’
