Red Sox's Brock Holt Suffers Injury After Being Poked in Eye by 2-Year-Old Son

Boston Red Sox utility man Brock Holt has a unique cause for heading to the injured list.

"It was actually a play at the hotel," Holt told reporters. "It was the morning of Opening Day. I went and got Griff up out of bed, and was bringing him back to our bed, and one of his fingernails got me good."

He is now going to the IL for at least 10 days for what was called a "right eye scratched cornea," per Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe.
