More bad news on the injury front pours in for the Boston Red Sox, as the team placed closer Craig Kimbrel on the 15-day disabled list with a left knee medial meniscus tear.
Kimbrel will undergo surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital on Monday to repair cartilage in his knee – a procedure that is expected to sideline him for 3-6 weeks. This is crushing news for a Red Sox team already dealing with a litany of injuries this season.
The injury occurred while Kimbrel was shagging fly balls during batting practice prior to Friday’s game.
