Ryan Sweeney was pulled from Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Marlins with a left quad strain. Sweeney was 0-for-1 in the contest and is now 1-for-12 for the spring. The 26-year-old is expected to see a considerable chunk of the playing time in right field this year in Boston after being acquired alongside Andrew Bailey in a December trade with the A's. This quad issue may set Sweeney back a couple of days, but it's still early enough for him to heal in time for the start of the season.

Red Sox and OF Ryan Sweeney avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $1.75 million contract. Sweeney, who was acquired from the Athletics last month in the Andrew Bailey deal, earned $1.4 million last season while batting .265/.346/.341 with one home run, 25 RBI and a .687 OPS over 299 plate appearances. The Red Sox will likely sign add an outfielder prior to spring training, but Sweeney still figures to get plenty of playing time in right field.

Red Sox acquired OF Ryan Sweeney and RHP Andrew Bailey from the Athletics for RHP Raul Alcantara, 3B Miles Head and OF Josh Reddick. Sweeney might seem like a throw-in, but he's actually a nice fit for Boston. The 26-year-old is a very good defensive outfielder and should have no trouble with Fenway Park's sometimes-tricky right field. The Red Sox will likely try to find him a platoon partner to face left-handed pitching.

Athletics manager Bob Melvin considers Ryan Sweeney (quad) "50/50" to make another start this season. He is likely to be ready to be available to pinch-hit sometime on the A's road trip. Sweeney has been sidelined for a week with a strained right quad.

Ryan Sweeney has been diagnosed with a strained quad. Sweeney suffered the injury Wednesday while trying to beat out a groundball. He's likely to miss the next several games and could even be shut down for the season.

Ryan Sweeney was ejected in the seventh inning of Sunday's game for arguing balls and strikes. The normally mild-mannered Sweeney was thrown out by first-year home plate umpire Dan Bellino, who was way too quick with the hook. He finished the afternoon 1-for-4 with an RBI double and a run, and was replaced by David DeJesus, who is nursing a sore thumb.

Ryan Sweeney singled four times and drove in a run in Tuesday's win over the Mets. Sweeney entered the night with just five hits in 33 at-bats this month, so this performance certainly came out of nowhere. He has his average up to .291, but it's been empty with just six extra-base hits, none of which were homers.
