Overview
- The Red Sox placed outfielder Eli White on the 10-day injured list retroactive to September 9 for a right foot ligament injury, a move announced by the team on Friday.
- White injured his right foot after crashing into the gated section of Fenway Park’s center-field wall and underwent MRI and CT scans while using crutches and a walking boot.
- Boston recalled infielder Anthony Seigler from Triple-A Worcester to fill White’s roster spot, bringing back a player who has appeared in the majors this season and provides infield versatility.
- Manager Chad Tracy shifted Jarren Duran into center field, moved Roman Anthony to left, and plans for Duran to share center duties with Nate Eaton as the club covers the position shortfall.
- The injuries to White and earlier placement of Ceddanne Rafaela leave Boston thin in a key defensive spot with about two weeks left in the regular season as the team sits 80–68 and 8.5 games behind Tampa Bay while its wild‑card cushion has narrowed to five games.
