Lands on injured list Boston placed Rafaela (quadriceps) on the 10-day injured list Sunday, retroactive to Sept. 3, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Impact Rafaela exited Wednesday's loss to Seattle due to tightness in his quad and was out of the lineup for Boston's following three games. There was initially optimism that the 25-year-old could avoid a stint on the IL, but Rafaela will now need to miss at least the next week of action. Nate Eaton was recalled from the minors to take Rafaela's roster spot, though Eli White figures to be the biggest beneficiary in terms of playing time. Since the IL move is retroactive to Sept. 3, Rafaela could return as soon as Sept. 13.

Eli White will draw another start in center field in place of Rafaela, whom the Red Sox are viewing as day-to-day and remain hopeful that he'll avoid a stint on the injured list, per MLB.com.

Exits game with quad tightness Rafaela was removed from Wednesday's 8-3 loss to the Mariners due to quadriceps tightness, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Rafaela was playing through the issue before being taken out in the seventh inning with the Red Sox facing a large deficit. Given that the move was a precautionary one, the 25-year-old center fielder can be considered day-to-day heading into Thursday's pivotal series opener against the Orioles. Eli White, Jahmai Jones and Roman Anthony would all be in line for more work in the outfield if Rafaela were to miss time.
