BASEBALL DAILY REPORT : AROUND THE MAJORS

Boston Red Sox team physician and part-owner Arthur Pappas was ordered to pay $1.7 million in damages to former infielder Marty Barrett, who claimed the doctor’s negligence cost him his career. Barrett played eight years for the Red Sox before he was let go in 1990, a year after he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. At the time, Barrett said, he was not told how serious the injury was.

Barrett, now a minor league coach for the San Diego Padres, sued Pappas for malpractice three years ago.
