波士顿红袜队新援内野手柯蒂斯·梅德在加盟球队的首场比赛中遭遇左腕伤情[1]。周一在第二个打席时，梅德被运动家队先发投手杰克·珀金斯的投球击中腕部[1]。周一的X光检查结果为阴性，但周二的进一步检查确认了伤情，梅德将因此缺阵，具体休战时间暂未确定[1]。
梅德对这一意外感到失望，表示"太令人沮丧了。在首场比赛中就发生这种事感觉不真实。下一场比赛前会有间断期"[1]。红袜队已从小联盟三A球队召回内野手尼克·索加德顶替其位置[1]。梅德本赛季打击率为0.253，贡献17个本垒打和48次打点[1]。红袜队周六通过交易获得梅德，交易中向国民队送出左投康奈利·厄利[1]。
Boston Red Sox infielder Curtis Mead suffered a left wrist injury during his first game with the team on Monday, when he was struck by a pitch from Oakland Athletics starter Jack Perkins during his second at-bat [1]. While initial X-ray tests on Monday came back negative, further examination on Tuesday confirmed the injury will sideline him for an unspecified period [1].
Mead, who was acquired by the Red Sox on Saturday in a trade that sent left-handed pitcher Connelly Early to the Washington Nationals, expressed his disappointment about the setback [1]. "Super disappointing. It doesn't feel real happening in first game. There will be a break in between the next one," Mead said [1]. Prior to the injury, Mead had posted a .253 batting average with 17 home runs and 48 runs batted in this season [1]. The Red Sox have recalled infielder Nick Sogard from their Triple-A affiliate to fill the vacancy [1].
