When a reporter asked Brock Holt if he recalled the play that injured his eye, Holt clarified that it wasn’t the kind of play the reporter had in mind.
“It was actually a play at the hotel,” Holt said. “It was the morning of Opening Day. I went and got Griff up out of bed, and was bringing him back to our bed, and one of his fingernails got me good.”
The Red Sox utility man admitted Saturday that his 2-year-old son, Griffin, poked him in the eye before the Red Sox faced the Seattle Mariners on March 28.
