Willson Contreras hits injured list as MLB injury updates emerge

The Red Sox placed Willson Contreras on the 10-day injured list Monday with a left hamstring strain, marking an official setback for the 34-year-old first baseman. He had been managing the injury for roughly a month prior to his removal from Sunday’s game. Across the league, teams are managing several high-profile health concerns as the season progresses into September. Nationals outfielder James Wood could return as early as Tuesday or Wednesday, while Yankees manager Aaron Boone indicated Aaron Judge might rejoin the lineup by September 8. Additionally, Cardinals middle infielders Masyn Winn and JJ Wetherholt, along with Marlins second baseman Xavier Edwards, are currently navigating various physical ailments. Teams are adjusting active rosters to compensate for these absences during the final stretch of the schedule.
