It seems the Red Sox organization has been dealt another injury blow.
Luis Perales, the top pitching prospect in Sox Prospects’ rankings, exited a Double-A Portland game on Saturday due to injury, according to multiple reports. Perales left the game in the second inning after he missed on a 3-2 pitch.
It was not clear what caused Perales to exit the game, or the severity of the injury. However, multiple reporters in attendance noted that Perales, a 21-year-old right-hander, showed clear discomfort.
