Red Sox closer Koji Uehara out for rest of season

A Red Sox spokesman said Monday that Uehara will be placed on the disabled list.

X-rays after the game did not show a break, but further examination in Boston did.

MIAMI – nearer will miss the remainder of the season with a fractured proper wrist, the membership introduced Monday.

Uehara, who made a name for himself by anchoring the Red Sox’ bullpen in their World Series run in 2013, is now 2-4 this season, saving 25 of a possible 27 chances while garnering a 2.23 ERA and a 0.92 WHIP. Uehara is under contract for next season after signing a two-year, $18 million last offseason.

“I consider my whole body is a glove once I release a ball”. “That’s all I want”. 189 in 11 games in his major-league debut.

Apart from Uehara, Sox’s left-fielder Hanley Ramirez is suffering from a sore, swollen left foot from foul balls while batsman Pablo Sandoval’s style is cramped with a jammed left thumb.

Red Sox Manager John Farrell also said the team will look to be more cautious with using Tazawa for the rest of the season because of the workload he has had to bear. Ramirez was a late pregame scratch Saturday night. The Red Sox needed a roster spot with the impending return of Betts. The Mariners then tied the game with a solo home run by Franklin Gutierrez as he lead off the second inning, but Chen retired the next three batters he faced.

The reason for trimming Masterson was inconsistency; too many stretches of hits and walks and not enough stringing together of outs. He has been struggling this year with location, posting a 5.14 ERA in over 38 innings.
