Described as a rare injury, the Red Sox were concerned that if he continued to play the muscle might tear away from the bone. The team plans to seek a second opinion on the injury. If it doesn't respond to rest, surgery is a very real possibility. Victor Martinez is starting at first base on Tuesday night against the Indians with Kevin Cash catching.
