Red Sox List Wilyer Abreu Day-to-Day With Calf Tightness, Recall Nate Eaton

Boston expects the outfielder to miss the two-game Orioles series pending a check on his readiness for the Yankees.

Overview

  • Abreu exited in the seventh inning of Sunday’s 5-3 loss in Miami after scoring on a sacrifice fly and described the calf issue as a cramp.
  • Manager Alex Cora said Monday that Abreu felt improved, though an injured list stint has not been ruled out, according to local reports.
  • Boston has called up infielder/outfielder Nate Eaton from Triple-A Worcester to bolster short-term depth while Abreu is evaluated.
  • The Red Sox are still sorting the active roster, with a three-catcher configuration a possibility as a corresponding move is finalized.
  • Abreu leads the team with 22 home runs and 69 RBIs and has hit .300 with an .860 OPS over his last 16 games, heightening the impact of his brief absence.
