Red Sox injury woes deepen as Yoshida hits IL and Slaten sidelined
Boston placed Masataka Yoshida on the 10-day IL with a left hamstring strain and Justin Slaten on the 15-day IL with right elbow inflammation; Mickey Gasper and Raymond Burgos were recalled to bolster the roster. Yoshida suffered the hamstring tweak in Sunday's win over Pittsburgh, while Slaten will consult a doctor after pitching through prior discomfort. The club also announced minor-league rehab starts for Trevor Story (Worcester), Isiah Kiner-Falefa (Worcester), and Roman Anthony (Portland) as they return from 60-day IL stints, with a projected rust-reduction period ahead.
