Another One Bites the Dust

Yesterday, Jeremy Hermida (right) was forced onto the DL. Thus another left fielder goes down with a rib injury caused by a collision with third baseman Adrian Beltre. So far this year, Hermida is .217/5/27 in 45 games for the Sox this year, but he has been extremely good in clutch situations. The injury is a "deep bone bruise" but he was listed with fractured ribs. He has been restricted from all baseball activities and shuld be practicing for the return to MLB in a few days. The Red Sox also released reliever Joe Nelson (0-0/9.72/9) and brought Scott Atchison (0-1/4.50/10) back from AAA Pawtucket. I hope Hermida comes back healthy because he has been a valuable acquisition.
