New Red Sox infielder Curtis Mead to miss time with left wrist injury
WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) --- Curtis Mead will miss an undetermined amount
of time with a left wrist injury suffered in his first game with the Boston Red
Sox.
The Red Sox acquired Mead on Saturday in a trade that sent left-hander Connelly
Early to Washington. Mead was injured in his second at-bat with Boston on
Monday when he was hit on the wrist by Athletics starter Jack Perkins.
Red Sox manager Chad Tracy said on Monday that X-rays were negative, but
further tests on Tuesday showed an injury that will knock Mead out of the
lineup.
"Super disappointing. It doesn't feel real happening in first game," Mead told
reporters before the Red Sox faced the A's on Tuesday. "There will be a break
in between the next one."
Mead is hitting .253 with 17 home runs and 48 RBIs this season.
The Red Sox recalled infielder Nick Sogard from Triple-A Worcester to fill
Mead's roster spot.
