Contreras Hit Again, Red Sox Reeling | Boston Red Sox News

0:00On September 18th, Wilson Contreras, the first baseman for the Boston Red Sox, is feeling the heat and not just from the opposing pitchers. He got plunked again by the Texas Rangers on Thursday, forcing him out of the game. This is the second day in a row he's been hit, and is really getting under his skin. This latest incident is particularly frustrating because Contreras just got back from the injured list with a hamstring issue. He thinks this new knock could sideline him for up to 10 days, which is a major blow for the Red Sox. Contreras has a history of getting hit by pitches, even leading the league a few years back. He tends to stand close to the plate, and it looks like pitchers are taking advantage. It's a tough break for a guy who's been a solid offensive force for Boston this season. The good news, if you can call it that, is that initial x-rays didn't show any broken bones. So, it's not a season ending injury, but he's still reporting significant pain. With the Red Sox in a tight race for a playoff spot, they really need Contreras healthy. He's a key player, and his absence could really hurt their chances.
