A knee. An oblique. A loss. Bad just got worse for the Red Sox

If another home loss wasn't bad enough - this time coming in the form of a 10-7, 11-inning loss to the Guardians - the Sox were saddled with some more potentially season-changing injury news. Already after starting pitcher Garrett Whitlock was forced to exit his outing after four innings due to a sore left oblique muscle, Rafael Devers succumbed in his own ailment. This time it wasn't the bothersome shoulder for the third baseman, but rather an injured left knee that left Devers limping upon leaving the ballpark. “I felt it on the ground ball when I threw to second base for the [attempted] double play,” Devers told reporters after the loss.
