Marcelo Mayer feared the worst when he injured his right wrist on July 23. On Sunday, those fears were confirmed.

BOSTON (AP) — Boston Red Sox infielder Marcelo Mayer said Sunday that he’ll have season-ending surgery on his right wrist. The 22-year-old Mayer injured the wrist in late July, got an injection to try and come back, but decided to have surgery. He said he has a tear that hadn’t improved with the anti-inflammatory injection.

Mayer exited the Red Sox’ game against the Phillies on July 23 in the bottom of the fifth inning with an injury later determined to be to the triangular fibrocartilage complex.
