I’m not going to bury the lede here.
Tim Anderson injured himself in the fifth inning after coming in on a ground ball. He landed awkwardly on his right leg, and it looked pretty bad, too.
Anderson could not put any weight on his right leg, and an Achilles injury was in the back of plenty of our minds. Thankfully, the Sox announced a few innings later on Twitter that Anderson suffered just a sprained ankle, and X-rays were negative. Phew.
Anderson has been such a joy to watch this season, and it would have been a real shame if he missed an extended period of time.
