Curtis Mead leaves Red Sox game with apparent wrist injury

Curtis Mead, acquired by the Boston Red Sox from the Washington Nationals, left the game in the fifth inning due to an apparent wrist injury. During his debut against the Athletics in West Sacramento, Mead was hit by a pitch in the fourth inning but initially continued playing. The 25-year-old went 0-for-1 at the plate before being replaced by Anthony Seigler. The injury follows a prior trade that involved sending Connelly Early to the Nationals. The Red Sox have a record of 54-50 and are in third place in the American League East.
