This Week in Baseball: Red Sox trying to stay the course amid injury, illness

The season is only a week old, and already the Boston Red Sox have faced quite a bit of adversity.

It's hard enough to deal with whatever baseball-related injuries pop up each year, but Boston has also had to worry about the flu, which has been making its way through the roster over the past few days. Every game brings new questions about who manager John Farrell will be able to put on the field.

Hanley Ramirez missed the last three games, and Mookie Betts was also sick, missing three games before returning in Sunday's win at Detroit.
