Red Sox place OF Rafaela on 10-day IL with quadriceps strain

Boston Red Sox outfielder Ceddanne Rafaela has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a right quadriceps strain. The move, retroactive to September 3, was announced by the team before they completed a 4-game sweep of the Baltimore Orioles with a 3-1 victory. Rafaela, who earned his first career All-Star selection this year, is currently batting .282 with 32 doubles, three triples, 16 home runs, 70 RBIs, and 67 runs scored.

In response to Rafaela's injury, the Red Sox recalled infielder/outfielder Nate Eaton from Triple-A Worcester to fill out the roster.
