Red Sox rookie infielder Marcelo Mayer landed on the 10-day injured list with a right wrist sprain. He's unsure of the severity.

Marcelo Mayer's rookie season with the Boston Red Sox has been put on pause. The infielder was placed on the 10-day Injured List Friday with a right wrist sprain, the team announced. Mayer suffered the injury in Wednesday night's extra-innings win over the Phillies in Philadelphia,

For the time being it appears that the Red Sox are going to lean heavily on Ceddanne Rafaela to man the position in Mayer’s absence. The Red Sox also called up David Hamilton to provide another option at second, but it’s clear that the majority of the playing time will go to Rafaela.
