Contreras (left foot), Seigler (right trap) exit with contusions in 3rd frame

The Boston Red Sox lost two key infielders—All-Star catcher Willson Contreras and third baseman Anthony Seigler—due to contusions during the third inning of their game against the Chicago White Sox. Contreras exited after fouling a ball off his left foot, while Seigler left with an unspecified injury to his right trapezius area. Both players were removed from the game as a precaution, leaving the Red Sox with a weakened defensive lineup.

Coverage from *MassLive*, *Yahoo Sports*, *USA Today*, *ESPN*, and *MLB.com* confirms the injuries occurred simultaneously in the early stages of the contest. Reports emphasize the severity of the situation, given Contreras’ All-Star status and Seigler’s defensive impact, though specifics on recovery timelines or severity remain unclear. Watch for updates on whether Contreras or Seigler will return to the lineup soon, as well as potential roster adjustments.

The Red Sox’s bullpen and remaining infielders will face increased pressure in the absence of their starters. If either player requires extended recovery, the team’s postseason aspirations could face complications.
