DL

Despite the fact that they enter the All-Star break 4.5 games up over the New York Yankees in the AL East and with the best record in baseball, the Boston Red Sox suffered a bit of a bad break Saturday.

After holding their star right fielder Mookie Betts out of multiple games this week, the Boston Red Sox have officially placed the 25-year-old on the 10-day disabled list with a left abdominal strain.

Not only did the Boston Red Sox suffer a tough, 1-run loss on Monday afternoon to fall one game below .500 on the young season, but they also seem to be sending their starting center fielder, Jackie Bradley Jr., to the DL.

Instead of spending next week with his fellow All-Stars in San Diego, Boston Red Sox closer Craig Kimbrel will be going under the knife.
