Red Sox provide injury updates after win over Rangers
Summary

The Red Sox defeated the Rangers 4-3 on September 17, 2026, avoiding a series sweep. However, injuries to Willson Contreras and Aroldis Chapman raised concerns. Contreras exited the game after being hit in the hand, but x-rays were negative. Chapman was unavailable due to lat tightness, with the team opting to use Garrett Whitlock as closer. The Red Sox's playoff aspirations hinge on managing these injuries effectively as they prepare for a series against the Rays.
