The 28-year-old outfielder has batted .236 with a team-leading 11 home runs and 17 RBI in 41 games this season. After seven innings, he was taken out of Saturday\u2019s game against the Brewers because of right knee soreness. After missing the last three games, O\u2019Neill was sent back to Boston on Wednesday to undergo imaging of his knee.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the setback, the Red Sox remain optimistic about O&#8217;Neill&#8217;s recovery. \u201cWe feel like he should be fine,\u201d Red Sox manager Alex Cora said. \u201cBut we want to make sure. [The medical team] feels he\u2019s not making strides or feeling better. But they feel like he should be OK. Nothing too serious, and we\u2019ll go from there.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">O\u2019Neill is no stranger to the injured list, playing in a combined 168 games with the Cardinals between 2022 and 2023.
