Willson Contreras back in Red Sox lineup after missing 8 games due to hand injury
Willson Contreras re-joined the Boston Red Sox in the lineup for Sunday’s final regular-season game, following an eight-game absence due to a right hand injury. Contreras, who led the Red Sox with 27 home runs and 81 RBIs, was scheduled to bat third in the designated hitter spot against the Chicago Cubs. Their game was relocated from Fenway Park to Tropicana Field due to rain.
Prior to his injury, Contreras ranked second in the American League with a .387 on-base percentage. He currently serves as Boston’s starting first baseman.
