Red Sox 1B Moreland injures left knee
- Country:
- United States
Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland departed Thursday's 7-0 victory over the Cleveland Indians due to a left knee contusion, according to the club.
Moreland was injured while attempting to make a catch of a foul pop in the top of the first inning. His knee appeared to make contact with something along the camera well.
He reached on a bloop single in the bottom of the first inning and then departed. Blake Swihart replaced him.
Moreland, who turns 33 on Sept. 6, underwent surgery on his left knee to repair a torn meniscus last October and has occasionally dealt with soreness this season.
He is batting .259 with 15 homers and 66 RBIs this season.
