As Red Sox fans continue to eagerly await any injury-related news regarding Adam Duvall, one report Monday afternoon offered a “minor update” on the Boston outfielder.
The Boston Globe’s Pete Abraham reported Monday around 12:30 p.m. ET that Duvall was meeting with a doctor about the wrist injury he suffered Sunday against the Detroit Tigers. Red Sox manager Alex Cora told reporters after Boston’s series-sweeping victory that Duvall was having X-rays on his wrist.
Abraham added how there is expected to be more of an update on Duvall’s status “soon.”
Duvall was injured in the ninth inning when he slid for a line drive in center field. His wrist got awkwardly caught in the outfield grass, prompting Duvall to immediately take off his glove and exit the field in pain.
Red Sox players expressed Sunday how they hoped the injury wasn’t as bad as it looked, especially since Duvall had been one of Boston’s biggest bright spots with his historic start at the plate.
Duvall had season-ending surgery on his same left wrist last season when he was a member of the Atlanta Braves. The surgery was in order to repair a torn tendon sheath.
Bobby Dalbec reportedly is planning to meet the Red Sox in Tampa Bay in case Boston has to put Duvall on the injured list for any amount of time. The Red Sox open a four-game series against the Rays on Monday night with first pitch scheduled for 6:40 p.m. ET on NESN.
