Injuries played a critical role in the Boston Red Sox’s season, which ultimately proved to be a step forward, but nothing to highlight in the future history books.
Among many starting pitchers who went on the shelf at various points in the season, Hunter Dobbins succumbing to an ACL tear in July stands out as an inflection point. Dobbins was coming into his own, having twice beaten the New York Yankees in primetime games, when a disastrous putout at first base ended his rookie season.
Thankfully, Dobbins has not only been recovering at a fast clip, but he’s been sharing his rehab milestones with Red Sox fans on social media. On Thursday, he once again treated the fan base to a positive update.
