The Boston Red Sox remain engaged in conversations for additional infield help in the wake of Curtis Mead’s broken left wrist, a person close to the situation — who spoke anonymously to candidly discuss a matter they were not authorized to speak on publicly — told The Athletic.Mead, whom Boston acquired over the weekend in a deal with the Washington Nationals, broke his left wrist Monday when he was hit by a pitch in his second at-bat for the Red Sox. With the newly acquired infielder sidelined, the Red Sox were left scrambling to find an additional bat to bolster their lineup ahead of MLB’s Aug. 3 trade deadline.Chief baseball officer Craig Breslow’s move to land Mead more than a week before the deadline — in a trade for left-hander Connelly Early that he called “incredibly uncomfortable” — highlighted his urgency to add to a surging Red Sox team that on Wednesday had playoff odds over 65 percent, according to FanGraphs.With infielders Trevor Story (sports hernia), Marcelo Mayer (forearm stress reaction) and Isiah Kiner-Falefa (forearm stress reaction) all on the injured list, the Red Sox have relied on Andruw Monasterio as their starting shortstop, but would prefer to use him in the utility role for which he was acquired. Story is not yet close to a rehab assignment, while Mayer and Kiner-Falefa remain in the early stages of baseball activities.With Mead out for what could be the rest of the season, the Red Sox are back to the drawing board, assessing the remaining infield options ahead of Monday’s deadline. Here’s a look at some of the names they might be considering.Luis Arraez, San Francisco GiantsLuis Arraez lacks power but would still improve Boston’s lineup and defense. (Scott Marshall / Associated Press)The Red Sox are looking to add more power to their lineup, and Arraez doesn’t offer that, but would still be a strong addition as one of the league’s best bats, hitting .331 with an .817 OPS through 102 games. Arraez has 23 doubles, seven triples, and is relentless in getting on base as a three-time batting champion. His style of play would fit the Red Sox’s current small-ball style.
