Boston Red Sox place Willson Contreras on 10-day injured list

Summary

The Boston Red Sox placed slugger Willson Contreras on the 10-day injured list due to a left hamstring strain. The move follows a 16-1 loss to the New York Yankees, which concluded as the team's most recent game. In response to the roster vacancy, the club recalled Mickey Gasper from Triple-A Worcester. Contreras has been a significant contributor for the team this season, appearing in 125 games with 26 home runs, 79 RBI, and a.274 batting average.
