Willson Contreras drew fire from Fenway fans after refusing to run out a ground ball in the 10th inning, leading to a confrontation that had one fan ejected. Contreras defended his decision, citing a leg injury he’s managing with his manager’s approval — arguing smart fans understand he’s conserving energy for high-leverage moments. But with the Red Sox already locked into a wild card spot and barely clinging to division relevance, the logic gets murky: if he’s not fully healthy, why’s he playing in games that don’t matter? The real question is whether he should be on the IL for low-stakes matchups — because if his leg’s that compromised, he shouldn’t be out there at all, especially when postseason health is everything.
