Duvall Goes To IL With Fractured Wrist
Tampa Bay’s pitchers will miss the player who has been most productive for Boston on the young season, as the Red Sox had to place outfielder Adam Duvall on the 10-day injured list Monday after doctors determined he suffered a fractured wrist on Sunday against Detroit.
Boston recalled infielder Bobby Dalbec from Triple-A Worcester to take Duvall’s spot on the active roster.
