The Boston Red Sox were looking to get some help for their bullpen Monday when they were expected to call-up right-hander Carson Smith after his final rehab appearance for Triple-A Pawtucket.
But unfortunately for Smith and the Red Sox, the righty didn’t last long in his outing Sunday night, as he was struck in the leg with a line drive and was forced to exit the game.
Boston will hold its breath as Smith is evaluated, as it hoped to add another dominant arm to the bullpen for the stretch run.
No update has been given on Smith’s injury.
