The Boston Red Sox placed infielder David Hamilton on the 10-day injured list Thursday because of a fractured left index finger. They recalled Nick Sogard from Triple-A Worcester to take his spot on the roster.

Hamilton broke his finger while dropping down a bunt in the eighth inning of Boston’s 3-0 win Wednesday over the Blue Jays.

“When he bunted, he hit his finger,” Manager Alex Cora said after Wednesday’s game. “He’s pretty sore.”

Hamilton, a 26-year-old rookie, is fifth in the majors with 33 steals despite playing in only 98 games. He’s batting .248 with a .303 on-base percentage, .395 slugging percentage, eight homers, 17 doubles, one triple, 28 RBI, 47 runs, 22 walks and 80 strikeouts.

PHILLIES: On the hook for nearly $40 million over the next two years for a pitcher with a 6.50 ERA this season, the Philadelphia Phillies moved Taijuan Walker to the bullpen, turning the 33-year-old right-hander into a long reliever for the stretch run.

Walker (3-6) had not won a game since May 22 and has lost his last six decisions. The Phillies have lost his last nine starts.

Walker signed a four-year, $72 million deal prior to the 2023 season.

THURSDAY’S GAMES

RANGERS 2, WHITE SOX 1: Corey Seager hit his 200th career homer and Nathan Eovaldi pitched seven scoreless innings, leading Texas to a victory at Chicago.

Eovaldi (10-7) matched his season high with 10 strikeouts. The right-hander was working on a no-hitter before Gavin Sheets hit a leadoff single in the fifth.

Kirby Yates surrendered Andrew Benintendi’s 15th homer with one out in the ninth, and then struck out Andrew Vaughn and retired Sheets on a grounder to second for his 25th save in 26 tries.

BREWERS 6, GIANTS 0: Aaron Civale and Aaron Ashby combined on a two-hitter and William Contreras stole home to help Milwaukee beat visiting San Francisco.

Civale (5-8) worked seven innings for his longest outing of the season. He struck out seven while allowing only two hits and two walks.

CARDINALS 4, PADRES 1: Masyn Winn hit a solo homer while Sonny Gray threw six strong innings in leading St. Louis past visiting San Diego.

Gray (12-9), who had lost his three previous starts, held the Padres to three hits and a run, with no walks.

Ryan Helsley earned his MLB-leading 41st save in 44 opportunities by pitching a 1-2-3 ninth.

ANGELS 3, TIGERS 0: Zach Neto homered, rookie Jack Kochanowicz pitched six shutout innings and Los Angeles won at Detroit, ending a seven-game losing streak.

Kochanowicz (2-3) was spectacular in his sixth major-league start, allowing five hits in six innings. He struck out four without walking a batter. He is 2-1 with a 2.45 ERA since rejoining the rotation on Aug. 11.

METS 3, DIAMONDBACKS 2: Jose Iglesias drove in Tyrone Taylor with a base hit in the ninth inning, and New York rallied for a win at Phoenix.

Jesse Winker hit a one-out double off Justin Martinez (5-5) before Taylor entered as a pinch runner. Taylor advanced to third on a flyout to right from J.D. Martinez, and Iglesias ripped a hard grounder up the middle that deflected off the glove of diving shortstop Geraldo Perdomo.

MARLINS 12, ROCKIES 8: Derek Hill had three hits and the second two-homer game of his career, Kyle Stowers had three hits and four RBI, and Miami won at Denver.

Brendan Rodgers hit two home runs and Brenton Doyle had three hits, including a double and a homer, for the Rockies.
