Boston Red Sox Announced Curtis Mead Update

During their series with the Rays, the Red Sox announced the latest update on Curtis Mead.
MLB.com wrote (on September 19): “Hitting off a tee and playing catch.”
Mead only appeared in one game for the Red Sox following a trade (via the Washington Nationals).
According to the site, he could still return during the 2026 MLB playoffs.
The good news is there does not appear to be any setback at this time.

Before getting hurt, Mead had been in the middle of his best season at the MLB level.
He is batting .253 with 17 home runs and 48 RBIs in only 88 games.
Looking At Mead

Mead is in the middle of his 4th season at the MLB level.
He had spent the first 2.5 seasons of his career with the Tampa Bay Rays.
Following the Rays, Mead had quick stints with the Chicago White Sox (and Nationals).
MLB.com wrote (on July 26): “Boston Red Sox traded LHP Connelly Early to Washington Nationals for 3B Curtis Mead.”
