Wilyer Abreu was very nearly the hero in the Boston Red Sox's 5-3 loss to the Miami Marlins on August 18. The outfielder lifted a two-run homer and scored Boston's only other run of the game, after which he limped to the dugout.
Abreu was pulled from the game and Roman Anthony took over for him in right field. Abreu was quick to dispel any concerns of a serious injury and said after the game that he felt a cramp in his calf. He also said he expects to be day-to-day, although he may miss Boston's two-game series against the Orioles from August 18-19.
