Red Sox reinstate Willson Contreras from injured list
The Boston Red Sox welcomed a key bat back to the lineup Sunday.
Boston Red Sox have reintegrated first baseman Willson Contreras into their lineup after a 10-day stint on the injured list, the team announced on August 29, 2026. Contreras, who was sidelined since August 31 due to a left hamstring strain, had completed two rehab games with Double-A Portland, contributing with a batting average of .286 and scoring two RBIs.
This move clears the way for infielder Anthony Seigler, who had been dealing with right wrist inflammation, to return from the injured list. Seigler, who played 49 games for Boston this season, was placed on the 10-day injured list on August 28 after leaving Saturday's game against the Kansas City Royals in the seventh inning due to wrist soreness.
