The Boston Red Sox got some very bad injury news on a player who has been a big part of their early success this season.
Adam Duvall suffered a broken wrist in Sunday’s game against the Detroit Tigers, according to manager Alex Cora. The outfielder has already been placed on the injured list. Duvall has no timetable for a return and may still require surgery.
Adam Duvall’s wrist is broken, per Alex Cora. Distal radius fracture. No timetable yet. Unclear if surgery is needed.

Duvall suffered the injury late in a 4-1 win, when he hurt his surgically-repaired wrist while diving for a fly ball.
This is a big blow for the Red Sox, as Duvall had been on a tear to start the season. In his first eight games, he hit four home runs and five doubles while driving in 14 runs. Admittedly, one of those homers came in rather fortuitous circumstances, but there is no taking away his dominance. The Red Sox will miss him.
