Scouting Report: Roansy Contreras
Chicago Cubs | RP
Overall
Summary
Willson Contreras was hit by a 94 mph pitch from Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Nick Martinez on his right hand in the first inning on Sunday, May 10, 2026. X-rays came back negative for fractures, but the 33-year-old first baseman suffered a right hand contusion. He was removed from the game after the first inning. Initial reports indicated cautious optimism about his availability, with the Red Sox planning to reassess on Tuesday. By May 12, Contreras was ruled out of Tuesday's lineup but expected to return Wednesday after hitting in the cage and taking batting practice. The injury is considered less concerning than impact injuries because it was sustained on direct contact rather than from a swing. Contreras has been one of the Red Sox's best offensive contributors in 2026, hitting .259/.380/.467 with 8 home runs through 166 plate appearances in his first season with Boston.
