BOSTON (AP) \u2014 The Boston Red Sox placed infielder Marcelo Mayer on the 10-day injured list because of a left forearm injury Friday.<\/p>\n
To take his place, the club recalled infielder Tsung-Che Cheng from Triple-A Worcester before their game against the New York Yankees.<\/p>\n
Interim manager Chad Tracy said the 23-year-old Mayer has been dealing soreness for a while.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe recommendation of the doctors was if this is something that if you can get off and rest, that would be the best thing to do right now,\u201d Tracy said.<\/p>\n
The team said it was a \u201cbone stress reaction to the left ulna.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mayer, the fourth overall pick in the 2021 MLB draft, has struggled this season, batting just .220 with three homers and 22 RBIs.<\/p>\n
Cheng is making his Red Sox debut, starting at shortstop and batting ninth. He was claimed off waivers from Washington in Feb. after playing with Pittsburgh last season.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the third infielder this season that started the year with the club to go on the IL.<\/p>\n
Shortstop Trevor Story needed sports hernia surgery in May and Isiah Kiner-Falefa also went the IL with a forearm injury last week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BOSTON (AP) \u2014 The Boston Red Sox placed infielder Marcelo Mayer on the 10-day injured list because of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":736440,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2392],"tags":[5,15690,2057,1248,620,4,9501,9496,22856,88106,83947,88107,22857,22858,22859,36947,86147,88108,91611,619,65,3235,1035],"class_list":["post-736439","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-seattle-mariners","tag-baseball","tag-chad-tracy","tag-isiah-kiner-falefa","tag-marcelo-mayer","tag-mariners","tag-mlb","tag-package-100502-member-choice-sports-option","tag-product-30599-ap-sports-news-s-wire-only","tag-product-40778-ap-connecticut-sports-only","tag-product-40790-ap-maine-sports-only","tag-product-40791-ap-massachusetts-sports-only","tag-product-40799-ap-new-hampshire-sports-only","tag-product-40800-ap-new-jersey-sports-only","tag-product-40802-ap-new-york-city-sports-only","tag-product-40803-ap-new-york-state-sports-only","tag-product-40809-ap-pennsylvania-sports-only","tag-product-40811-ap-rhode-island-sports-only","tag-product-40817-ap-vermont-sports-only","tag-red-sox-mayer-injured-list","tag-seattle","tag-seattle-mariners","tag-seattlemariners","tag-trevor-story"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/736439","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=736439"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/736439\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/736440"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=736439"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=736439"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=736439"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
