Red Sox rookie infielder Marcelo Mayer landed on the 10-day injured list with a right wrist sprain. He's unsure of the severity.

Hundreds of Aramark workers at Fenway Park are on strike and planning to stay out for all of a homestand between the Boston Red Sox and the Los Angeles Dodgers starting Friday night.

Mayer's infield versatility impacted Boston this season, particularly at third base and second base. David Hamilton earned a call back to the big leagues as the corresponding move. The Red Sox will also lean more on platoon players in Romy Gonzalez and Abraham Toro to move around and produce.

Marcelo Mayer's injury is leading to a lot of moving parts for the Red Sox. It could also impact how Craig Breslow approaches next week's trade deadline.

The Boston Red Sox will be without their starting third baseman against the Los Angeles Dodgers after Marcelo Mayer got put on the IL.

Marcelo Mayer's trip to the IL means Boston might be in the market for a second baseman, while Connor Wong's struggles could lead to a new backup catcher.

BOSTON — The Red Sox recalled utility infielder David Hamilton from Triple-A Worcester to take injured Marcelo Mayer’s spot on the 26-man roster.
