The Boston Red Sox placed first baseman Willson Contreras on the 10-day injured list on August 31, 2026, due to a left hamstring strain. Contreras, the team's top hitter with a .274/.384/.516 line and 150 wRC+, has been dealing with the injury since mid-August. Catcher/infielder Mickey Gasper was recalled from Triple-A Worcester to replace him. The Red Sox, currently holding the second American League Wild Card spot, can afford to rest Contreras to ensure he is healthy for the postseason.
