Willson Contreras left Boston's matchup at Rate Field after fouling a Davis Martin pitch off his left foot. He finished the at-bat, flying out to Junior Perez, then limped to first base before being replaced by Romy Gonzalez when Luisangel Acuna singled. The Red Sox recorded a loss as Chicago's pitching staff kept Boston off the scoreboard.

Contreras departed with a left‑foot contusion, adding to a list of injuries that already sidelined infielder Anthony Seigler after a slide into catcher Kyle Teel. Despite the setback, Contrarias is batting .285 in his first Boston season and tops the team with 20 homers and 61 RBIs. His recent All‑Star Game selection as an injury replacement and upcoming Home Run Derby appearance in Philadelphia keep his profile high.

The Red Sox will need to adjust their lineup without Contrarias and Seigler, relying on utility depth from Gonzalez as they chase a playoff berth in the tightly contested AL East.
