ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Boston Red Sox placed right fielder ShaneVictorino on the 15-day disabled list for the second time this season. <\/p>\n
Both times it's been because of a strained right hamstring. He was sidelined from the start of the season until he was activated April 24. Outfielder DanielNava was recalled from Triple-A Pawtucket. <\/p>\n
Also, designated hitter DavidOrtiz and first baseman MikeNapoli were not listed in Saturday's lineup because of injuries. <\/p>\n
The flurry of activity took place before the Red Sox played Tampa Bay, with Boston trying to end an eight-game losing streak. <\/p>\n
Manager John Farrell said Ortiz has a calf injury. Napoli is still feeling the flu-like symptoms that sidelined him Wednesday and Thursday in addition to hamstring, calf and finger issues. <\/p>\n
\"We're beat up,\" Farrell said. <\/p>\n
Saturday was a planned day off for Ortiz to deal with his injury. <\/p>\n
\"This is what his situation called for,\" Farrell said. <\/p>\n
Napoli could miss a few days. <\/p>\n
\"I can't say this is a one-day thing,\" Farrell said. \"It might be more days needed than that, and we're hopeful to avoid a down time on the DL as well with him.\" <\/p>\n
