The Boston Red Sox have dealt with plenty of injuries this season. One of the more notable ones is Willson Contreras. The slugger last played Aug. 30 against the New York Yankees before landing on the injured list Aug. 31 with a strained left hamstring.

After clinching improbable postseason berth, the Red Sox are eager to prove they did not come this far to only go this far.

For the first time since being acquired at the trade deadline, Red Sox reliever Erik Miller imploded Wednesday in a 7-3 loss to Texas.

The Sox slugger was hit on the right hand on a pitch by Rangers reliever Jakob Junis in the eighth inning of Boston's 4-3 victory.
