ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) \u2014 Boston first baseman Willson Contreras left the Red Sox’s game Thursday night against the Texas Rangers in the eighth inning after being hit by a pitch in the area of the right hand.<\/p>\n
Contreras was struck by a first-pitch sinker thrown by Jakob Junis after Wilyer Abreu drew a leadoff walk with the Rangers leading 3-1. Contreras walked to first base in obvious pain, was examined by a team trainer, and headed to the dugout.<\/p>\n
