Red Sox place Curtis Mead on injured list amid extensive player absences

The Boston Red Sox added Curtis Mead to their injured list on July 29, increasing their total to 11 injured players. This list includes five pitchers and six hitters, impacting the team's ability to field a full-strength roster. Mead’s addition follows a recent trade that brought him to Boston, but he suffered a wrist fracture after being hit by a pitch in his first game. The Red Sox have shown resilience despite these injuries, and they will hope for Mead's swift recovery before the regular season concludes.
