BOSTON (AP) — Red Sox first baseman Willson Contreras left Sunday’s game against the Rays at the end of first inning with a bruised right hand after he was hit by a fastball from Tampa Bay’s Nick Martinez.
Contreras shook his hand in pain and stopped halfway between the plate and first. Boston’s interim manager Chad Tracy and a trainer came out to check on him.
