Red Sox prospect's bad luck continues, takes fastball to the face image

Boston Red Sox infield prospect Blaze Jordan has been having a solid year when he's on the field, hitting .253 with a .703 OPS, seven home runs, 51 RBIs and two stolen bases.

Unfortunately for Jordan, who is the organization's 26th-ranked prospect (via. Sox Prospects), he's had some bad injury luck in 2024.

Earlier this season, he broke his finger on a play at the plate, costing him significant time. Then, he took a fastball to the face in a recent game.

Jordan posted that picture after the game, which looked rough, but he seemed to be in good spirits.
