Red Sox place Koji Uehara (pec) on the disabled list
The Boston Red Sox placed reliever Koji Uehara on the 15-day disabled list with a right pectoral strain.
Uehara injured his pectoral against the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday. It's possible that this injury could keep Uehara, who was the interim closer with Craig Kimbrel out, sidelined for a lengthy period. The closer role will likely be taken over by Brad Ziegler, who's made three appearances -- all scoreless -- since being traded to Boston from the Arizona Diamondbacks. Ziegler owns a 2.61 ERA in 41 1/3 innings this season.
Uehara is having a much better season than his 4.50 ERA might indicate, and is sporting a 2.55 SIERA with a 35.17 percent strikeout rate. We project him to post a 3.24 ERA over the remainder of the season, pending the severity of his injury.
