The Red Sox received positive news regarding Tyler O’Neill’s injury update following a collision with Rafael Devers. Manager Alex Cora revealed that O’Neill cleared concussion protocol after receiving eight stitches above his left eye, and he is expected to return to the lineup for Thursday’s series finale. Fortunately, Devers was not injured in the collision and is ready to play in Tuesday night’s game.
O’Neill has been performing well for the Red Sox this season, with a .313 batting average and seven home runs through 17 games. He has been a bright spot in an otherwise inconsistent offense. Meanwhile, starter Nick Pivetta is recovering from a flexor strain and has been playing catch for the third consecutive day as he works his way back to full strength.
The Red Sox are looking to bounce back from their loss to Cleveland in the first game of their series and secure a win on Tuesday night.
