Scouting Report: Mark Contreras
Chicago Cubs | LF
Overall
Summary
Willson Contreras suffered a right hand contusion after being hit by a 94-mph pitch from Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Nick Martinez on May 10, 2026. X-rays came back negative for structural damage. The Red Sox are cautiously optimistic about his recovery and plan to reassess his status before the May 12 game against Philadelphia. Contreras has been one of Boston's best hitters in his first season, leading the team with 8 home runs, 21 RBIs, and a .259/.380/.467 slash line through 166 plate appearances. He also leads MLB with 8 hit-by-pitches this season. Despite the injury concern, he has matched and exceeded expectations as an "April All-Star" and remains a key offensive contributor for the struggling Red Sox lineup.
