BOSTON — Emilio Bonifacio has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a left oblique strain on Wednesday afternoon.
The White Sox utility man crumpled to the ground in pain and grabbed his side during a third-inning at-bat in Tuesday night’s 9-4 win over the Boston Red Sox. Leury Garcia — who had been called up over the weekend when Bonifacio went on the bereavement list — has been promoted from Triple-A Charlotte.

Bonifacio’s start on Tuesday was the first time he had played in 11 days and his first start since June 28.
