Red Sox News
The Boston Red Sox barely scraped by with a 1-0 win over the Cleveland Guardians yesterday, a match that did little to mask their ongoing struggles, especially with Willson Contreras now a major concern. After suffering a hand injury that has sidelined him for a week, Contreras expressed doubts about his readiness for the impending AL Wild Card Series, leaving fans anxious as the team gears up for a crucial postseason push. Despite this week's lackluster performance, scoring just 2.3 runs per game with a -6 run differential over the last seven days, the Red Sox cling to their playoff hopes. Meanwhile, the Guardians have secured a postseason berth, further highlighting Boston's challenges as they attempt to reverse their fortunes.
