Red Sox place Ranger Suarez on injured list with groin strain

The Boston Red Sox have placed pitcher Ranger Suarez on the 15-day injured list due to a left groin strain. This move was made retroactive to July 6. Suarez had to exit his last start against the Los Angeles Angels early in the third inning after feeling pain while fielding a ground ball. He has been a key part of the rotation since joining the team on a five-year, $130 million contract, posting a 3.15 ERA in 17 starts. Infielder Brett Harris has been called up to take his spot on the roster. Patrick Sandoval is set to make his first MLB start in over two years, providing some potential reinforcement for the rotation.
