BOSTON -- Baltimore Orioles manager Buck Showalter made an interesting facebook/" target="_blank">comment before today's Red Sox and Orioles game here at Fenway Park. Mookie Betts, Robbie Ross Jr., Mitch Moreland, Hanley Ramirez and Andrew Benintendi are among the Red Sox players who have been sick. "I don't know where we are with the flu today," Showalter told Baltimore reporters, per The Baltimore Sun. Ramirez returned to the Red Sox lineup today after missing all four games in Detroit. He might have been taking a subtle jab at the Red Sox who had several players miss time during the first week because of the flu.
The Red Sox are being decimated by the flu
The Red Sox are still the division favorites, but some weird outside factors are doing everything they can to hold Boston back. The flu is the most noteworthy issue going on with the Red Sox, but their roster is in short-term shambles for other reasons, too. Along with Betts, Ramirez and Ross, the Red Sox are without shortstop Xander Bogaerts and reliever Matt Barnes, who are both on bereavement leave. * * *If you've paid any attention to the Tigers-Red Sox series that has been going on in Detroit this weekend, you've probably noticed that the Red Sox roster hasn't looked as you may have expected. Betts and Ramirez are just the most notable players currently sitting out because of this illness, of which there are apparently three strains circulating the Red Sox clubhouse.collected by :Lucy William
