Willson Contreras leaves game after being hit by pitch in Los Angeles

Boston Red Sox All-Star first baseman Willson Contreras exited the game against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the third inning after being hit in the helmet by a pitch. The incident occurred with the Red Sox leading 1-0 and Contreras reaching base afterward. Following a brief assessment by team staff, Contreras remained in the game but was later replaced in the lineup by Anthony Seigler after the Red Sox took the field. The injury raises concerns for the Red Sox, who are already dealing with a lack of power in their lineup. More information on Contreras' condition is expected after the game.
