Red Sox's Travis Shaw: Stays in after fouling ball off ankle

Shaw fouled a ball off his right ankle in the bottom of the fourth inning of Tuesday's game, but he will remain in the game.

Analysis:

He was down at the plate after what appeared to be a very painful foul ball off the ankle and it's possible that he could deal with swelling or discomfort that costs him a game or two later this week. Had the Red Sox taken him out, Hanley Ramirez would have had to play first base, which would have cost them the DH for the rest of Tuesday's game. Since he stayed in the game we won't assign an injury designation, but it's a situation worth monitoring when setting daily lineups Wednesday.
