The Red Sox apparently have lost the services of their most significant pinch runner – Steven Wright – to the 15-day disabled list. Wright suffered an injured shoulder when he was summoned to perform his best imitation of Usain Bolt in a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Red Sox also announced that first baseman Hanley Ramirez will be placed on the three-day bereavement list and that left-hander Roenis Elias has been optioned to Pawtucket. No further indication of any roster changes with the absence of Ramirez.
