(FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - Red Sox pitcher Clay Buchholz who was recently released from the hospital for esophagitis appeared at a charity event on Wednesday night at Foxwoods Resort and Casino in Connecticut, according to a Red Sox team source.
Buchholz did not travel with the team to the West Coast for their upcoming series against the Seattle Mariners, but he did accept an invitation from a friend to attend the WAAF Celebrity Golf Tournament, a charitable event sponsored by The Greg Hill Foundation, reports WEEI.
While the event served alcohol, Buchholz refrained from drinking.
The Red Sox announced in a release Tuesday that Buchholz has esophagitis, which led to the erosion of his esophagus and an associated gastrointestinal bleeding. He is expected to make a full recovery.
