Yankees left fielder Mike Tauchman is expected to be sidelined for six-to-eight weeks after straining his left calf, an injury that effectively will rule him out for the postseason.
Tauchman limped off after fielding a routine single hit by Boston's Brock Holt in the fourth inning Sunday night. He stopped just before the ball reached him and was favoring his left leg.
Tauchman hit a two-run homer in the top of the inning to give New York a 6-2 lead. He was able to walk on his own to the dugout and was replaced in left by Cameron Maybin.
