Earlier in the season, the Red Sox got a major shot in the arm when they called up Michael Chavis during a series in Tampa Bay. He’s been a huge plus for the team as he’s held down the fort at both second and first base while others healed up on the IL. But now it looks as if he’s beginning to feel the wear and tear of a long season.
Chavis was once again left out of the lineup yesterday for what would be the fourth game in a row. He did come in to pinch-hit in the eighth on Tuesday but would quickly strikeout and then be a non-factor in the field for the ninth.
