The Boston Red Sox may have avoided another injury scare.
Red Sox closer Kenley Jansen left Wednesday’s game against the Houston Astros in the ninth inning with right hamstring tightness. Manager Alex Cora said that they hope to have him back by Friday.
“Just tight,” Cora said of Jansen’s hamstring. “We’ll see where at tomorrow, how he feels. Hopefully, he’s ready for Friday.”
Jansen came into a tied game at four apiece in the ninth inning, throwing three pitches and recording just one out before leaving the game.
