The Boston Red Sox may have avoided another major injury.
Outfielder Alex Verdugo left Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Royals during the sixth inning due to tightness in his left hamstring. As a result, he did not play in Monday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays, nor will he play Tuesday.
But Red Sox manager Alex Cora told reporters on Monday that this injury is nothing serious, and hopes Verdugo will return to action soon.
