BOSTON — The Tampa Bay Rays’ 11-7 loss Saturday to the Boston Red Sox was not the worst news of the day surrounding the slumping ballclub.
Afterward, the team announced right fielder Steven Souza Jr. will be placed on the 15-day disabled list with a fractured left hand.
Also, Matt Moore, who was roughed up again, will be optioned Monday to Triple-A Durham.
Souza suffered the injury when he was struck on his hand during the sixth inning by a fastball from Red Sox starter Joe Kelly. This will be Souza’s second trip to the DL this season.
