Red Sox injury updates: Tyler O’Neill clears concussion protocol, could return Thursday
The Red Sox appear to have dodged a bullet with Tyler O’Neill, who has cleared concussion protocol and is expected back in the lineup later this week after leaving Monday’ game following a scary outfield collision.
“A little bit banged up,” Red Sox manager Alex Cora said. “He’ll sit today, probably tomorrow, we’ll see how he feels Thursday, but we’ll take it day by day.”
O’Neill collided with Rafael Devers attempting to catch a pop fly in shallow left field, and after leaving the game he received eight stitches to close a gash above his left eye. Devers also went down in a heap but remained in the game, and Cora said he’s feeling fine as well.
“He’s doing ok,” Cora said.
Tuesday also brought good news for Nick Pivetta (right elbow flexor strain) and Romy Gonzalez (left wrist sprain). Pivetta once again played catch prior to the game and Cora said he’s been trending towards a return.
“Feeling a lot better, moving in the right direction, you can see him now kind of upbeat,” Cora said. “We’ll see what the progress looks like and the program and hopefully we get him back sooner rather than later.”
Gonzalez, meanwhile, took ground balls prior to Tuesday’s game. He is eligible to come off the injured list on Sunday.
