With both
Mookie Betts and
Dustin Pedroia already on the 10-day disabled list, the the most feared words in
Red Sox Nation last night were: "
J.D. Martinez back spasms". The Boston DH/OF—who has been having a spectacular season—
missed his final at-bat last night due to the problem. However, manager
Alex Cora is pretty confident that Martinez will be back in the line-up on Tuesday night at home against his former Tiger club. Said the skipper,
"He’ll be fine. I think the workload the past few days, day games at home last week, and flying all the way here, that’s probably why." Let's hope Cora is right.
