The Boston Red Sox have placed their recently acquired infielder Curtis Mead on the injured list after he suffered a fractured wrist during his debut game. Mead was hit by a pitch in his second at-bat, leading to immediate concerns about his injury. While initial reports suggested that the injury might not be severe, further tests confirmed the fracture. This setback leaves the Red Sox without Mead for an indefinite period, raising questions about their plans in the trade market moving forward. The team had high hopes for Mead following the recent trade with the Nationals, but this unfortunate turn of events has dampened the excitement surrounding his addition.
