Injury Woes Hit Red Sox: Devers, Whitlock, and O'Neill Sidelined
April 17, 2024Rafael Devers, the star third baseman for the Boston Red Sox, suffered a left knee injury during a game against the Cleveland Guardians.
Devers' injury occurred as he fielded a ground ball, leading to his early exit from the game, with pending decisions on further testing.
The third baseman is also contending with a pre-existing shoulder issue, compounding his frustration over the timing of this new setback.
Teammate Garrett Whitlock experienced left oblique tightness in the same game and awaits reevaluation.
Outfielder Tyler O'Neill sustained a collision with Devers, requiring eight stitches to his forehead, and while he cleared concussion protocol, he is expected to miss at least the next game.
The Red Sox are grappling with multiple injuries among key players at the outset of the season.
