Was pulled after running hard to beat out a potential double play ball in the third. Grabbing at a hammy.

Nightengale reporting right hamstring tightness as of 7:45pm.

Thread for any updates here.

Edit: During post game Will Venerable said he’s going to likely miss a couple of weeks and tomorrow they’ll be getting imaging done.

Will this open up a spot for us to test the waters on Jacob Gonzalez?

Jacob Gonzalez out of the game for Charlotte

Gonzo is still in the dugout FWIW, not zooming off to pack his bags

Pope Leo, we are asking you for good news

Hopefully means good news on Mune

Maybe they just pulled him bc it’s a blowout. Hope that’s all it is.

If Mune is done, Sox are done. I could care less about Gonzalez.

Sox players should not have to run. Too many hammies for this team

Finally having hope again makes this kinda cr#p hurt.

It didn't look terrible. I remember the Madrigal and Robert hamstring tears and they fell down like they got shot. Hopefully it's a grade 1 strain and he's day to day or goes on the 10 day IL to be cautious.

Will just said that Mune might be out a couple of weeks.

Well, if he is out for a while, I hope the team properly mourns his loss by hanging his jersey and batting gloves in the dugout.

I'm sure Vasil is whipping up a healing spell as we speak with his wand.

I’ll take that. Could be a WHOLE lot worse

Him being out a few weeks usually wouldn't be a huge deal, except we start the toughest stretch in the schedule starting next week.

I was upset until reading your comment made me realize that yeah, this isn't the worst that could happen.

Maybe this finally gives Jacob Gonzalez his shot to get that hot bat into the lineup...somehow they keep pulling out wins, but the margin of error just keeps narrowing.

And at least it's not an oblique.

if he's out for multiple weeks, this team is flat out fucked

they barely beat one of the worst teams in baseball in their own park and it took extra innings to do it, they're screwed

Sounds like grade 1 so hopefully just like around 2 weeks.

Winning is all that matters at this point.

Melton has a good arm and had been a capable reliever.

Maybe they are still one year away, but this is a totally different team with Teel and Braden lengthening the lineup.

This and other people freaking out/ giving up is silly. Colson is heating up. Gonzalez will hit up here. They’ll be fine against Detroit next two, and at Minnesota, and yes at Philly.

After that they will really need Mune.

baseball isn't all about one guy. Others will need to step up a bit and the pitching will need to continue to do well

Sox fans can’t have nice things
