Brentz to miss big league camp with injury
Bryce Brentz - OF - Boston Red Sox
Feb. 9, 2013 - 11:20 AM ET

Red Sox prospect Bryce Brentz told WEEI.com's Alex Speier that his absence from big league camp in spring training is due to an injury that he sustained from an accidental discharge of a gun he was cleaning.

The specifics of the injury aren't yet known, but Brentz said it's "nothing serious" and expects to be ready for the start of the minor league season. Brentz spent the majority of 2012 at the Double-A level and likely would have been among the first cuts in spring training. While his path to the majors is currently blocked, he could make an impact with the Red Sox at some point in 2013.
