As the Boston Red Sox make a run toward the postseason, the team will be without its center fielder for at least the next week with a right quadriceps strain.
On Sunday, the Red Sox announced that Ceddanne Rafaela was placed on the 10-day injured list. But the IL stint will be dated back to Sept. 3, so Rafaela could return in a week depending on how he recovers from the injury.
However, Boston interim manager Chad Tracy believes Rafaela could be activated when eligible on Sept. 13.
"That's my expectation," Tracy said, via MLB.com's Ian Browne. "Obviously, he has to go through running stuff next week, and you don't know how he's going to respond to that.
"But the way he's progressing right now, that's my expectation. We have to see how everything goes with the running. But we just got past the point of being able to wait [for him], and not have an extra player here for another four games or so."
