Red Sox think they dodged a bullet after new addition leaves with injury [Video]

BOSTON — Garrett Cooper’s right wrist is sore after leaving the Red Sox’ 4-0 win over the Giants in the fifth inning Tuesday. But the team thinks he will be OK.

Giants reliever Sean Hjelle hit him with a 94.8 mph fastball during his third at-bat. He went 0-for-2 with two strikeouts in his first two at-bats.

“He’s doing OK,” manager Alex Cora said. “Just sore. We’ll see where he’s at tomorrow. We dodged a bullet there.”

The Red Sox are calling it a right wrist contusion.

Asked if Cooper has already had imaging done, Cora said, “Not that I know of.”

Boston traded for the 33-year-old to replace first baseman Triston Casas who is on the 60-day injured list after he fractured some of the cartilage which connects his ribcage to his sternum.
