The Red Sox have placed backup outfielder Rocco Baldelli on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left hamstring. Baldelli has played in 5 games for the Red Sox this season and he is 3 for 13 (.231 avg, .517 OPS) with 2 runs scored and 1 RBI. The Red Sox have recalled 1B Jeff Bailey to replace Baldelli on the roster. In his first game with the Red Sox this season he was 1 for 2 with 2 runs scored, 1 homer and 3 RBIs. Bailey has also played in 12 games in AAA-ball so far this season and he was 12 for 47 (.255 avg, .918 OPS) with 11 runs scored, 4 homers and 7 RBIs. The Red Sox will miss Baldelli especially with J.D. Drew going down to injury at any time.
