Clay Buchholz Leaves In Second Inning With Leg Injury -- Feels "OK"

UPDATE: Terry Francona says Clay Buchholz hyper-extended his knee, but felt "OK" when he was talking to the team doctor. The team will do its due diligence, but this is sounding a lot more like nothing than like something.

-----------------

After recording his first Major League hit, Clay Buchholz left the field when he came up hurt running to second. Clay seemed to be grabbing at the back of his left thigh as he left, so we might be looking at a hamstring issue. There was no contact on the play.

The Red Sox have already lost Dustin Pedroia to a fractured foot in the first game of the series. With Jacoby Ellsbury and Josh Beckett still out with injuries of their own, the team can ill afford even more injury trouble, much less to one of their top two starters.

Such a damn shame

Hope it’s nothing serious

I didn't like the old one very much. I didn't see the ball there very well. - Julio Lugo on the old Yankees Stadium.

Alright, hopefully nothing huge.

I was checking out some other games then I saw Atchison go in. I thought he got hurt sliding or something during the ground out with Scutaro.

Get some rest Buchholz, we need you! He needs to make the All-star team.

This is why the NL will eventually have the DH

It may take 50 years, but eventually, some pitcher with a $100M guaranteed contract is going to blow out a knee running the bases.

Yeah

Too bad it will take something like that to make folks realize the obvious.

Yeah, it's asking too much

for a 26-year-old professional athlete to run all the way from home plate to second base without getting hurt. For shame, doing that to those poor AL players!

Wow

That’s not what we’re saying and you know it.
