Scouting Report: Yan Contreras
Chicago Cubs | SS
Overall
Summary
Willson Contreras (Boston Red Sox first baseman) suffered a right-hand contusion after being struck by a 94.2 mph sinker from Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Nick Martinez on May 4, 2026. X-rays came back negative. He was removed from the game but the Red Sox remain cautiously optimistic about his availability. Initial reports suggest he may be able to play in the upcoming series against Philadelphia. Contreras has been Boston's best hitter with 23 RBIs, 8 home runs, and a 143 OPS+ through early May. The injury is considered an impact-related contusion rather than a swing-related issue, which is viewed more favorably for recovery. Note: Some articles reference William Contreras (Milwaukee Brewers catcher), a different player who is performing well offensively.
Strengths
- X-rays came back negative with no broken bones
