The Tampa Bay Rays placed outfielder Jonny DeLuca on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a right hamstring strain.
The move is retroactive to Saturday.
DeLuca felt a tug at his hamstring while legging out an infield single in the seventh inning of Tampa Bay’s 4-2 victory over the New York Yankees on Friday.
DeLuca is batting .269 with two homers and 19 RBIs in 41 games this season. The 27-year-old is hitting .244 with 10 homers and 60 RBIs in 192 career games with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Rays.
Also on Sunday, the Rays recalled outfielder Victor Mesa Jr. from Triple-A Durham.
Mesa, 24, batted .188 with one homer and six RBIs in 16 games last season with the Miami Marlins. He is hitting .350 with three homers and nine RBIs in 21 games across two levels of minor-league baseball this season.
