4 years agoBoston Red Sox utilityman Jose Peraza attempted to take one for the team Thursday, taking to the mound for the third time in his career as his team entered the ninth down by 11 runs. He was unable to complete the frame after a line drive off his right leg knocked him from the game. Peraza had collected two hits prior to his departure, bringing his average on the year up to .262. Despite having taken over full-time duties at second base this year, Peraza has brought little pop to the position, having collected just three extra-base hits since Opening Day, two of which came Thursday. Boston did not have an immediate update on Peraza’s status, but Jonathan Arauz would figure to step in should he be sidelined Friday against the Yankees and right-hander Gerrit Cole.--Jesse Borek
