Marcelo Mayer, a rookie infielder for the Red Sox, has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a right wrist sprain. The injury occurred during a game against the Philadelphia Phillies, where he experienced discomfort leading to his removal in the fifth inning. Mayer has already had issues with his right wrist in the past, but he has not suffered broken bones and will consult with the training staff. Surgery remains a possibility as the team considers options for his recovery.
Mayer explained he suffered no broken bones and that he isn't yet sure of the severity of his sprain. He will meet with the team's training staff Friday to learn more.
Mayer said the timing of his ailment is "brutal" and "super annoying" given his injury history since being drafted by the Red Sox in 2021.
Mayer felt a "little tight grab" in his wrist when he took a swing in his second at-bat during Wednesday's game.
Despite sounding dejected about his injury, Mayer expressed hope, stating, "It feels in some pain but hopefully it's not too serious and I can get back on the field soon."
