Holt of Red Sox hits IL after his son has stung him

Boston Red Sox technician Brock Holt heads to the casualty list because his 2-year-old has poked at him.

The Red Sox announced Saturday that they had placed Holt "on the list of 10-day wounded with a cornea scraped at the right eye" without further explanation.

But Holt later confessed to reporters, confessing that he was not injured during a field game.

"It was actually a play at the hotel," said Holt, quoted in the Boston Globe. "It was the morning of the opening day." I went to get Griff out of bed, and brought him back to our bed, and one of his nails did me good. . "

Holt continued to try to play despite being visually impaired and made only 1 in 16 after making his debut season two days after the accident with his son.

"It's not funny, but it's funny," Holt said. "[Griffin] walks around and tells everyone that he stung me in the eyes. "

The Red Sox called Tzu-Wei Lin from Triple-A Pawtucket to replace Holt.
