After hearing that Red Sox utilityman Brock Holt ended up on the team’s 10-day injured list at the hands — or fingers — of his two-year-old son, talk show host Jimmy Kimmel joked the situation is “a lesson to all the working dads out there.”
“Never spend time with your children,” Kimmel quipped during Monday’s installment of his eponymous late-night program.
The Red Sox announced Saturday morning Holt had suffered a scratched cornea. According to Holt, his beloved toddler, Griffin, poked him in the right eye the morning of Opening Day — and his fingernail apparently did some damage.
