Tyler O'Neill Benched for Red Sox Game

Boston Red Sox outfielder Tyler O'Neill has been scratched from the lineup for the series opener against the Arizona Diamondbacks due to left fourth finger inflammation. This season, O'Neill has already faced multiple injury setbacks, including a recent leg infection that hospitalized him, and has been on the injured list three times. Despite these challenges, he has had a solid impact on the team, batting .262 with 22 home runs and 46 RBIs in 84 games. Rob Refsnyder is set to replace O'Neill in left field for the game. The Red Sox are currently 67-59 and remain in contention for a Wild Card spot, sitting 3.5 games out. O'Neill's health will be crucial as Boston aims for postseason success.
