Summary
The Red Sox snapped a three-game skid with a 5-1 win over the Royals, but today’s game is delayed two hours due to weather. Big news: Willson Contreras is back from the IL and starting at first base after a hamstring injury sidelined him since August 30th. His return is huge — he was hitting .274 with 26 homers and 79 RBIs before getting hurt, and the interim manager called him an “aircraft carrier.” He even had a spicy rehab moment when he tossed his bat after being denied pine tar. To make room, infielder Anthony Seigler went on the IL with a wrist injury. Boston sits at 81-68 and still alive for a wild-card spot with just over two weeks left.
