After his visit with a concussion specialist In Pittsburgh (where
else would a concussion specialist be?),
Brock Holt got the bad news that he is not yet ready for a rehab assignment. Apparently, Holt is still suffering from symptoms like disorientation when tracking flyballs—although (typically) the Red Sox are not specific on this issue. Manager
John Farrell did say,
"When he's ready to go out on a rehab assignment will be all determined by him being symptom free." Thanks for clearing that up, John! On another injury front,
Joe Kelly was revealed to have a 'grade one' groin strain—not something any guy wants to hear. He was placed on the seven-day minor league disabled list. Just another cheery day in the world of hurtin' Sox.
