Red Sox Place Isiah Kiner-Falefa on the Injured List with Left Forearm Inflammation
The veteran infielder has hit .277 in 47 games this season, and the Red Sox said he will undergo an MRI.
- On Saturday, the Boston Red Sox placed infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa on the 10-day injured list with left forearm inflammation, recalling Anthony Seigler from Triple-A Worcester to fill the roster spot.
- Kiner-Falefa had played through nagging pain for more than two weeks, but the condition worsened Friday after the team's long flight to Seattle, with his forearm noticeably swollen by morning.
