Outfielder Kiké Hernandez is going on the 10-day injured list, the Red Sox announced Friday.
Hernandez suffered a right hamstring strain in the first inning of the Red Sox’ win over the Detroit Tigers on Thursday. He left the game a couple at-bats after hitting a leadoff double.
Hernandez has played in 30 of the Red Sox’ 32 games this season, starting in center field for 21 games and making six starts at second base. Alex Verdugo, who’s started in center field in the 11 games that Hernandez hasn’t been the starting center fielder, shifted to center for Friday’s game against the Orioles.
