Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers has been placed on the disabled list because of shoulder inflammation, the team announced Thursday afternoon.
The Red Sox called up infielder Tzu-Wei Lin from Triple-A Pawtucket to fill in. Both Devers and Lin are former Portland Sea Dogs, playing at Hadlock Field last season.
