BOSTON, MA – The Boston Red Sox today placed right-handed pitcher Corey Kluber on the 15-Day Injured List with right shoulder inflammation. To fill Kluber’s spot on the active roster, the club recalled infielder David Hamilton from Triple-A Worcester. Hamilton will wear number 70.

Chief Baseball Officer Chaim Bloom made the announcement.

Kluber, 37, allowed four runs over 3.0 innings of relief in last night’s game against the Minnesota Twins. The right-hander is 3-6 with a 7.04 ERA (43 ER/55.0 IP) in 15 games (nine starts) with the Red Sox this season, making each of his last six appearances in relief.

Hamilton, 25, is ranked among the Red Sox’ top 30 prospects by Baseball America (No. 17) and MLB.com (No. 26). The left-handed hitter has batted .255 (53-for-208) with 39 runs scored, 25 RBI, and 27 stolen bases in 52 games with Worcester this season. Acquired from the Milwaukee Brewers in a four-player trade in December 2021, Hamilton has hit .254 (273-for-1,074) with 186 runs scored in 272 career minor league games. He leads minor leaguers since the start of 2021 in stolen bases (149) and triples (23) and is rated by Baseball America as the fastest baserunner in the organization.
