Rafael Devers is going to miss some time.
The Boston Red Sox third baseman exited in the eighth inning of his team’s 10-4 win over the Minnesota Twins on Saturday with a left hamstring strain. And prior to Sunday’s series finale, the Red Sox placed Devers on the 10-day disabled list and recalled infielder Tzu-Wei Lin from Triple-A Pawtucket.
Devers originally injured his hamstring during a bunt in the first inning, but exacerbated it while rounding second in the eighth. He spent time on the DL in early July with a sore shoulder.
In 96 games this season, the 21-year-old is hitting .245 with 15 home runs and 52 RBIs. Lin, meanwhile, is hitting .182 with no homers and one RBI in 19 games.
