Curtis Mead Leaves Game After Being Hit on Wrist by a Pitch in His Red Sox Debut
Mead, batting .256 with 17 home runs, exited after his second at-bat and was examined by the Red Sox trainer, the team said.
- On Monday, July 27, 2026, Boston Red Sox infielder Curtis Mead left his debut against the Athletics in Sacramento after being struck on the left wrist by a 95-mph fastball from pitcher Jack Perkins in the fourth inning.
- The Red Sox acquired the 25-year-old infielder from the Washington Nationals on Saturday in exchange for left-handed pitcher Connelly Early, seeking to bolster a lineup tied for last in the majors with 98 home runs.
- Before Monday's injury, Mead was batting.256 with 17 home runs and 48 RBIs over 87 games with the Nationals, demonstrating the breakout production the Red Sox hoped would continue.
- The Red Sox later announced Mead suffered a "left wrist contusion," and Anthony Seigler replaced him at second base in the fifth inning as the team awaits further updates.
- With the August 3 trade deadline approaching, this injury complicates Boston's roster plans as the team already manages injuries to key players Roman Anthony and Marcelo Mayer.
