The injury bug seems to be about the only thing that can slow down the surging Boston Red Sox these days, which makes it a bit worrisome that the team shelved not one, but two players on the same day.
As expected, the Red Sox have sent reliever Carson Smith back to the disabled list, but he won’t be making the trip alone. Brock Holt will be joining him, after being placed on the 7-day concussion DL.
Smith started the year on the DL with an elbow injury, delaying his Red Sox debut until May 3.
