The Boston Red Sox absorbed a brutal blow on the injury front, with outfielder Adam Duvall suffering a fractured left wrist during Sunday's series finale matchup against the Detroit Tigers on the road. Duvall has since been placed on the injured list, which means he will be missing a considerable amount of time. That being said, Duvall's injury, which has been diagnosed as a distal radius fracture, will not be requiring surgery, per Red Sox manager Alex Cora (h/t Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe).

“Adam Duvall does not need surgery, which should cut down on how much time he is out,” Abraham reported.

Not needing to go under the knife sounds encouraging for Adam Duvall and the Red Sox. A surgery could potentially end the season for Duvall — or leave him sidelined for several months.

Prior to his injury, Adam Duvall was among the chief sources of success at the plate by the Red Sox. On the season, Duvall is hitting .455 with a .514 OBP and .677 slugging percentage for a 1.544 OPS and 304 OPS+. He also has four hime runs and 14 RBI across 37 plate appearances and eight games.
