Carson Smith returns to Red Sox with long road ahead
By Jason Mastrodonato | [email protected] | Boston HeraldPUBLISHED: February 13, 2019 at 10:35 am | UPDATED: February 13, 2019 at 10:47 am FORT MYERS, Fla. — Carson Smith was always supposed to be back with the Red Sox in 2019, but for the talented right-hander, this wasn’t the way anybody had planned it out. Smith, 29 and holding a sparkling 2.21 career ERA in 102 major league innings, hasn’t thrown a baseball since May 14, when he departed a game against the Oakland A’s after giving up a solo home run to Khris Davis over an inning’s work. He walked down the dugout steps and threw his glove against the wall. Many players have done this, and worse, for decades to unload frustration after a rough outing. But this time it cost him — he felt his shoulder pop out of place. The result was a subluxation that needed surgery, and the prognosis is a 12-18 month recovery period.

Arkansas-made PPKs set to ship; Walther’s Fort Smith unit rolling out the popular pistols
Greg Cornett, director of manufacturing for Walther, describes the first steps in assembly and testing of a PPK pistol at the Walther Arms site in Fort Smith. - Photo by Ben Goff FORT SMITH -- The iconic and sleek Walther PPK is considered one of the most easily identified pistols in history and now is being built in Arkansas at the gun-makers U.S. headquarters. The pistol is commonly called a classic by experts and casual gun-owners alike.
