Tyler O'Neill Discharged From The Hospital
3 months agoBoston Red Sox outfielder Tyler O'Neill (leg) said he was discharged from the hospital on Tuesday after four days having his leg infection treated. O'Neill started baseball activities on Tuesday and will travel with the Red Sox, and he hopes he might be able to be activated from the 10-day injured list without going on a minor-league rehab assignment. The 29-year-old has been away from the Red Sox since Aug. 2 due to a stomach bug, but he eventually landed on the IL because of his leg infection. It remains to be seen when O'Neill will return to Boston's lineup, but when he's ready, he'll return to a regular role and likely push Ceddanne Rafaela back to shortstop duties. In his first year in Beantown, O'Neill has had a fine season with a .268/.357/.544 slash line, a .900 OPS, 22 homers and 45 RBI in 80 games played. Keep him stashed in all fantasy leagues. UPDATE: O'Neill isn't expected to play in the upcoming series in Baltimore against the Orioles that begins on Thursday.
