Vaughn Grissom Officially Lands On Injured List
6 months agoThe Boston Red Sox officially placed infielder Vaughn Grissom (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list on Sunday with a right-hamstring strain and also placed infielder/outfielder Romy Gonzalez (hamstring) on the 10-day IL (retroactive to May 31) with a left-hamstring strain. In corresponding moves, right-hander Garrett Whitlock (elbow) was moved to the 60-day IL, infielder/outfielder Jamie Westbrook was selected from Triple-A Worcester and infielder/outfielder Bobby Dalbec was recalled from Worcester. Grissom suffered a mild hamstring strain on Saturday but will have to miss at least the next 10 days. Enmanuel Valdez is playing second and batting fifth on Sunday for Boston against Detroit Tigers right-hander Casey Mize, and he's the most likely to benefit from more playing time with Grissom out. Grissom got a late start to his first season in Boston due to injury and has gone just 12-for-81 (.148) with no homers or steals to this point.
