NEW YORK — The Boston Red Sox have put World Series MVP Steve Pearce back on the 10-day injured list.
Pearce is out with a low back strain. The Red Sox made the move Saturday, a day after he left a game against the New York Yankees.
First baseman/outfielder Sam Travis was recalled from Triple-A Pawtucket.
Pearce is hitting just .180 with one home run and nine RBIs in 29 games.
The 36-year-old started the season on the injured list because of a calf strain. He has started at first base, designated hitter and in the outfield this season.
