Red Sox prospect outfielder Bryce Brentz (leg) hasn't been cleared for full baseball activities.

Brentz is behind the other players in camp after he accidentally shot himself in the leg while cleaning a handgun in January. He is currently hitting and throwing on flat ground, but he has yet to spring at full speed. Still, the Red Sox expect him to be ready by the time minor league games begin on March 13.

Bryce Brentz - OF - Red Sox

Red Sox GM Ben Cherington said he wouldn't rule out Bryce Brentz (leg) appearing in games by the end of spring training.

Cherington confirmed that Brentz shot himself in the leg while cleaning a handgun, and is no longer on the spring training roster. However, the injury is not considered serious, and the Red Sox don't expect him to miss any time during the season. A supplemental first-round pick in 2010, Brentz spent the majority of last year at the Double-A level, where he batted .296/.355/.478 with 17 home runs and 76 RBI in 122 games (456 plate appearances).

Red Sox prospect Bryce Brentz told WEEI.com's Alex Speier that his absence from big league camp in spring training is due to an injury that he sustained from an accidental discharge of a gun he was cleaning.

The specifics of the injury aren't yet known, but Brentz said it's "nothing serious" and expects to be ready for the start of the minor league season. Brentz spent the majority of 2012 at the Double-A level and likely would have been among the first cuts in spring training. While his path to the majors is currently blocked, he could make an impact with the Red Sox at some point in 2013.

Bryce Brentz - OF - Red Sox

Red Sox agreed to terms with OF Bryce Brentz.

Brentz was selected out of Middle Tennessee State as the No. 36 pick in the 2010 First-Year Player Draft. He will receive a bonus of $889,200. Though he slipped a bit, Brentz was one of the better college bats available and he should find a home in a corner outfield spot. Like first-round pick Kolbrin Vitek, Brentz is set to join the short-season Lowell Spinners.
