Moreland hurts knee on sliding catch attempt
BOSTON -- Mitch Moreland's day in the sun didn't last very long as he suffered a left knee contusion in the Red Sox's matinee versus the Indians at Fenway Park on Thursday.
In the top of the first inning, the Boston first baseman looked to make a play on a Yandy Diaz foul that was popped up along the first-base side, but in the sliding attempt, his knee made contact with an eyebolt on a cable running along the camera well.

Though slow to get up, the Red Sox All-Star remained in the game until his first at-bat in the bottom of the first, after his high fly to left field turned into a bloop single when Melky Cabrera lost the ball in the sun.
