Mead's Broken Wrist Cut Short His First Red Sox Season
A hit-by-pitch in his second plate appearance with Boston left Curtis Mead sidelined for roughly two months of the 2026 campaign.
Curtis Mead was acquired by Boston at the trade deadline but broke his left wrist after being hit by a pitch from Jack Perkins in his second at-bat as a Red Sox. He missed approximately two months before being activated for the Wild Card series roster. He did not appear in Boston's playoff game, as manager Chad Tracy was cautious about deploying him after such a long absence.
