The Red Sox placed outfielder Tyler O’Neill on the 10-day injured list with knee inflammation, the team announced ahead of Wednesday’s game.
The move, which comes just hours after O’Neill underwent precautionary imaging, is retroactive to May 26. Infielder Enmanuel Valdez was recalled from Triple-A Worcester to fill his spot on the active roster.
“I think we’ve done everything possible to keep him on the field. He’s done everything possible to stay on the field. He should be back soon,” manager Alex Cora said ahead of Boston’s 6-1 loss to the Orioles, per the Globe’s Julian McWilliams.
