Red Sox catcher Victor Martinez got some foul tips during Sunday’s game. Foul tips that did some considerable damage:
Victor Martinez’s Fractured Thumb Doesn’t Appear To Be Serious
Fractured left thumb for Martinez not his toe caught a couple foul tips
...
On same foul ball by Sandoval in 2d that struck Martinez's toe, it hit his thumb first. Next inning, another foul tip by Torres, fracture
Nevertheless, while a fractured thumb is never pleasant, the fact that Martinez wasn’t immediately sent to the DL suggests that he may be able to avoid a stint. Martinez will be examined on Monday, at which point the team will decide what to do. Martinez doesn’t believe he’ll need much time off.
