A 2024 Red Sox season already marred by several key injuries was almost dealt a devastating blow on Monday afternoon.
Rafael Devers and Tyler O’Neill — two of the Red Sox’ top hitters on the roster — were both attended to by trainers during Monday’s game against the Guardians after a scary collision in left field.
The collision occurred with two outs in the top of the seventh inning. Red Sox reliever Greg Weissert managed to get Estevan Florial to pop out to shallow left field — but a convergence between Devers, O’Neill, and shortstop Ceddanne Rafaela quickly led to disaster.
