Redsox’s Brents Shoots Self

Redsox Prospects Shoots Himself in hunting accident

Bryce Brentz might have gotten a non-roster invitation to big-league camp with the Red Sox this spring. Instead, he's on the shelf for a few weeks after accidentally shooting himself in the leg

Brentz was fortunate not to be seriously injured.

"The bullet went into his leg and out the other side," Cherington said. "I guess you could say he got lucky, relative to what happened. I think he understands he got lucky, and it's a serious thing and he has to be careful. He's here in Fort Myers and he's recovering -- and it's not going to get in the way of his future. But he won't be in big league camp."
