The Red Sox added some much-needed offensive firepower to their lineup on Tuesday with the activation of outfielder Tyler O’Neill from the 7-day concussion injured list. O’Neill started at designated hitter and batted third in the lineup, taking the roster spot of catcher Tyler Heineman, who was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain suffered in his season debut on Sunday.
These roster moves come at a time when the Red Sox are dealing with several injuries. Third baseman Rafael Devers has missed the past five games with a back injury, and first baseman Triston Casas is expected to miss significant time with a fractured rib. Despite these setbacks, the Red Sox remain optimistic about their chances in the upcoming season.
