Red Sox Activate Willson Contreras, Place Anthony Seigler on Injured List

The Boston Red Sox have activated first baseman Willson Contreras from the 10-day injured list, while infielder Anthony Seigler has been placed on the same list due to inflammation in his right wrist.

Contreras was sidelined with a left hamstring strain since August 31, but his swift return suggests he will be available for the team's playoff push. He has been a key contributor for the Red Sox this season, boasting a batting average of .274 with 26 home runs in 517 plate appearances.

Seigler, who joined the Red Sox in an offseason trade, has faced injury challenges this year, including a brief stint on the IL due to knee issues. His recent recall from Triple-A was cut short after he experienced wrist discomfort during a game, leading to his exit in the sixth inning.
