The Boston Red Sox removed slugger Willson Contreras from their game against the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday.
Contreras was batting cleanup and playing first base. Yet, after just one at-bat, he was removed from the game, and Nick Sogard moved from second to first. Anthony Seigler came in to play second base.
At the time, it wasn’t known why Contreras left the game. Yet, the Red Sox revealed the slugger was removed from the game due to an illness.
“Willson Contreras was removed due to illness, the Red Sox say,” Chris Cotillo wrote on X.
Losing Contreras, even though it is just due to an illness, is a tough blow to the Red Sox lineup as he’s been a huge part of their success this season.
Contreras is hitting .288 with 23 home runs and 70 RBIs this season.
More to come.
