Brian Johnson and Brock Holt will indeed land on the injured list, per sources. Still awaiting word on the specific injuries that resulted in callous of Lin and Walden.

Red Sox announce the moves. Holt to the injured list with a right eye scratched cornea. Johnson to the IL with elbow inflammation. Walden and Lin up.

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Weird. Do they have anyone on the position player roster with options?

Injury?

Possible corresponding moves for Red Sox: LHP Brian Johnson (who allowed seven runs in the sixth inning yesterday) and Brock Holt could land on the injured list.

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Nunez does have a better ERA than the starting staff, so cutting back on pitchers isn't necessarily a bad move

Of the 4 starters that "qualify" (made 2+ starts, not Price), Sale leads in ERA with 8.00

 

[Ale Xander]

$20 to Jimmy Fund if Brian Johnson's injury is a strained thigh.

It could be anxiety I guess. He has a history of that.

 

[bosockboy]

Hellenic Flu. They need an arm.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

scratched cornea is a new one

 

[E5 Yaz]

At least it's not a strained eyelid

 

[TeddyBallgame9]

At least it's not a strained eyelid

I have 2 strained eyelids from slamming them shut to avoid watching this shit show. Doctors say I’ll make a full recovery once the winning resumes.

Doctors say I’ll make a full recovery once the winning resumes.

If that's what they told you, you'd better invest in a seeing eye dog.

Guys, why do you imagine the scratched cornea isn't real? These things happen.

I don't think anyone wants to believe any of it is real.

See this guy, he gets it

Holts son poked him in the eye prior to opening day. And holt tried to play thru it

Re Johnson

 

[uncannymanny]

Ah *that’s* why he’s been wearing those blu blocker glasses in the field. I’ve been wondering about that.

I hope Johnson “felt” that he sucked like I did.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

so Holt will come back a super sub machine and it's all Griff's fault. got it.

 

[Sprowl]

With Nuñez needed in the bullpen, Two-Way Lin should get plenty of chances to play.

Holt has a locker and is being evaluated.

Could be activated Sunday Monday or Tuesday per Cora.

 

[Ale Xander]

Probably not Sunday with the bullpen depleted last 2 games.

 

[Humphrey]

Does this make the bench Nunez, Holt, Leon, Pearce after today? I have to think Nunez is hanging on by a thread.
