Red Sox put Mayer on 10-day IL, Cheng to fill in at shortstop
Boston placed rookie shortstop Marcelo Mayer on the 10-day injured list with a bone stress reaction in his left ulna, recalling Tsung-Che Cheng to handle infield duties. Mayer had been getting time at short as Trevor Story was out, but will join Story on the IL. The move tightens Boston’s middle-infield depth as other infielders are also sidelined, with Cheng expected to provide reliable glove work at short while the team contends in a weak AL.
