Willson Contreras got hit by a pitch during the Red Sox vs. Rangers game, marking his 24th HBP this season — and it’s not just another bruise. The blow knocked him out of the game, sent his hand numb, and felt like a fracture to him, especially since he’s had this hand broken before. X-rays were clean, but with his recent hamstring recovery in jeopardy, the team is holding its breath. He’s unsure how long he’ll be sidelined — days, a week, maybe ten — and won’t play Friday against the Rays. A tough blow for both him and the Red Sox as they race toward the postseason.
