RED SOX CF ADAM DUVALL SUFFERED BROKEN WRIST: HOW CAN BOSTON REPLACE HIM?


By Chad Jennings and The Athletic Staff
Apr 10, 2023

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

Red Sox center fielder Adam Duvall suffered a broken wrist, coach Alex Cora said
Monday. Here’s what you need to know:

 * Duvall suffered the injury Sunday against the Tigers while attempting to make
   a diving catch. He came up grabbing his left arm.
 * Additional tests are being conducted to determine whether there are other
   issues with the arm and whether surgery is necessary.
 * The 34-year-old is leading all Boston hitters in hits, runs, RBIs and batting
   average while matching Rafael Devers for the most home runs.
 * Duvall signed a one-year, $7 million deal with Boston in January.

The Athletic’s instant analysis:


HOW IMPORTANT HAS HE BEEN THIS SEASON?

When the Red Sox signed him, Duvall was a fallback of a fallback, an offseason
Plan C who already had become one of the most important pieces of their lineup.
In the first nine games, he led the team with four home runs and 14 RBIs,
providing much-needed right-handed power while capably filling their hole in
center field.

Essentially, he was giving the Red Sox much-needed up-the-middle production
after they failed to re-sign Xander Bogaerts and lost Trevor Story to injury.
— Jennings


WHO WILL STEP UP IN HIS PLACE?

Now, they really don’t have an ideal replacement. Rob Refsnyder is playing
center field Monday, but the Red Sox really need him to be a platoon alternative
to their left-handed corner outfielders. Kiké Hernández will move back to center
field occasionally, but the Red Sox really need him at shortstop. Raimel Tapia
can and will play some center against right-handed pitchers, but he will leave
the lineup overwhelmingly left-handed. Same for Triple-A call-up candidate
Jarren Duran. — Jennings


BACKSTORY

The Red Sox lineup lost its most productive bat with the loss of Duvall. His
first home run with the team, on April 1, was a walk-off to give the team its
first win of the year.

Duvall, a one-time All-Star in 2016, came to Boston after a season and a half
with Atlanta. His best seasons came in 2016 and 2017 with Cincinnati, when he
topped 30 home runs each season.


REQUIRED READING

 * The Red Sox think Adam Duvall can handle center field. Does his body agree?
 * Adam Duvall’s walk-off homer saves Red Sox; 6-run comeback saves Chris Sale
