The Curtis Mead experience has halted, just as it was getting started.The Red Sox traded for Mead Saturday night, adding a key infielder and right-handed bat to the lineup. In his debut Monday against the As, Mead took a 95-mph fastball to the wrist in his second at-bat for Boston.Super disappointing, you know, it kind of doesnt feel real that its the first game and you know, there will be a break in between the next one," Mead said to the media following the game.Initial X-rays were negative, and the Sox say he had a left wrist contusion.After Mondays game, Interim manager Chad Tracy gave this update.Hes sore; were just going to take it day to day and see how he feels coming in, Tracy said. But little sore, but at least right now it looks like we dodged a bullet, maybe.Turns out they did not dodge a bullet. The following night, the Sox announced Mead is heading to the injured list with a broken wrist.No, its challenging, definitely mentally challenging, Mead said. I came here to play and be with the group down the stretch. So yeah, its definitely disappointing, but Im hopeful I can be back soon.As of now, Mead will be sidelined until further notice. The earliest Boston can activate him is August sixth.Tough, especially for the kid, Tracy added. Got here, a player we like. You could tell he was excited to be here, you could tell the guys embraced him, and we were ready to kind of live life with him in the lineup. And then that happens to him, so more than anything you feel for him.When asked if hell play again this season, Mead added that he hopes so.Download the FREE Boston 25 News app for breaking news alerts.Follow Boston 25 News on Facebook and Twitter. | Watch Boston 25 News NOW
