Sox designated hitting Eloy Jimenez keeps hitting the repeat button on soft-tissue injuries. This time it's his left hamstring, which he strained Tuesday against the Blue Jays. That he apparently did it crossing home plate is poetic, the perfect combination of rare (a Sox run) and commonplace (a Sox injury).
What can be said with certainty is that there's an adductor strained every minute at 35th and Shields. Third baseman Yoan Moncada is out three to six months after straining an adductor last month.
Outfielder Luis Robert has been out with a hip flexor strain since early April, and the Sox are hopeful he'll be back soon.
You don't need a degree in irony to notice that their injuries are to core muscles. I don't have a medical degree, so I can't tell you whether the soft-tissue injuries are the result of bad luck or unsound workout practices.
