Boston Red Sox infielder Curtis Mead is tentatively expected to miss 6-8 weeks with the wrist fracture that he sustained in his first game with the team, Chris Cotillo of MassLive reported Wednesday.
The timeline threatens to sideline Mead for most if not all of the remainder of the regular season.
Shortly after the report, the Red Sox placed Mead on the 10-day injured list , as expected. The good news for Mead is that his injury isn't expected to require surgery, Cotillo reports.
What this means for Red Sox
The injury and recovery timeline are a blow to a Red Sox team that acquired Mead Saturday in a trade from the Washington Nationals for their late-season playoff push.
The Red Sox have recovered from a slow start to the season to move into position for an AL wild-card spot. Mead, 25, filled a need on the infield in Boston while providing a productive bat in the lineup. Boston parted with a promising 24-year-old pitcher in Connelly Early to acquire him.
In 87 games with the Nationals this season, Mead was in the midst of a breakout, slashing .254/.352/.500 with 17 home runs, 48 RBI and 6 stolen bases. In three abbreviated MLB seasons prior to this one, Mead totaled 16 home runs and 31 RBI across 152 games.
Mead batted second in the order in his first and, so far, only game with the Red Sox Monday. He got hit with a pitch in his second at-bat against the Athletics.

Mead was removed from the game and diagnosed with the fractured wrist on Tuesday.
A 6-8 week timeline from Wednesday would place Mead’s return sometime between Sept. 9 and Sept. 23. Boston’s regular season is scheduled to conclude on Sept. 27. The postseason will start on Sept. 29.
The Red Sox entered play Wednesday night at 55-51, in position for the second of three AL wild-card spots and two games ahead of the Twins, who would be the first team to miss the postseason based on the day’s standings.
