Red Sox 1B Moreland back on IL with quad strain

One day after returning from the 10-day injured list, Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland went back on the shelf Saturday with a right quad strain. Moreland, who had been out since May 25 with a low back strain, started Friday night's 5-1 loss to Tampa Bay but was removed after six innings.

Moreland, 33, still leads the Red Sox with 13 homers and a .543 slugging percentage. He is batting .225 with 34 RBIs in 47 games. In a corresponding move, Boston recalled infielder Marco Hernandez from Triple-A Pawtucket. He batted .303 with two homers and nine RBIs in 21 games with the PawSox.

The Red Sox also added right-hander Josh Smith from Pawtucket as the 26th man on the roster for Saturday's day-night doubleheader against the Rays. Scheduled to start the afternoon game, Smith is 0-1 with a 4.91 ERA in four games (one start) this season with Boston. --Field Level Media
