Boston Red Sox – On the last pitch of the night, Koji Uehara was drilled in the right arm by a line drive and was walked off the field by a trainer. He still converted the save, as he was able to make the play at first, but given how much pain he was in, he’s likely to miss some time, meaning Junichi Tazawa will likely handle the closer role until Uehara is healthy again.
UPDATE: Uehara reportedly does not have a broken bone. Continue to check back for updates.
Updated hierarchy: Tazawa | Ross | Ogando.
