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

Mayer's infield versatility impacted Boston this season, particularly at third base and second base. David Hamilton earned a call back to the big leagues as the corresponding move. The Red Sox will also lean more on platoon players in Romy Gonzalez and Abraham Toro to move around and produce.

After Mayer’s injury, the Red Sox recalled infielder David Hamilton, and though Hamilton will see some time at second, Rafaela’s offense has been too valuable to the lineup. Playing him at second and Duran in center makes the offense stronger. The moving parts have been a challenge for manager Alex Cora much of the season and even more so now.
