Well, the acquisition of
Brad Ziegler becomes more understandable—as
the Red Sox placed closer Craig Kimbrel on the 15-day disabled list with a torn meniscus in his left knee. His injury will require knee surgery. The team says he will be out 3-6 weeks—

The Carmine Hose approach the All-Star Break, they are facing a raft of injuries to key players. These health issues may turn out to be the most serious long-term impediments to their ability to contend. Specifically, the Kimbrel injury is a serious blow to an already shaky bullpen.
