The Boston Red Sox have placed star right fielder Mookie Betts on the 10-day disabled list with a left abdominal strain.

The move is retroactive to Tuesday.

Betts had missed the team's previous five games after the injury flared up during batting practice Sunday.

He is leading the majors with a .359 average, 52 runs scored and 37 extra-base hits.

The team will make a corresponding roster move Saturday.
