Hours before their league-leading 10th walk-off win on August 15, Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora gave a potentially devastating update on Marcelo Mayer's wrist injury.
Mayer hasn't appeared in a game since July 23 when he was pulled early due to pain in his wrist. He was placed on the injured list the following day with a wrist sprain, and he received a cortisone shot instead of season-ending surgery in hopes of getting back on the field as soon as possible.
Cora reported on August 15 that Mayer took dry swings this week and felt "OK, not great," after his injection.
