Jose Iglesias has been out of the lineup for the past three games with Triple-A Pawtucket for disciplinary reasons.

Iglesias was pulled from Saturday's game after he failed to run out two ground balls. It appears to be the result of some frustration to his demotion last month, though sulking his way through games isn't the best plan to earn his way back to the majors. The Red Sox are hoping that the benching will set him straight.

Jose Iglesias tripled and singled Saturday against the Rays.

Iglesias is hitting just .237, but six of his nine hits have gone for extra bases; he has four doubles and a homer to go along with the triple. Last year, he had a total of 10 doubles, one triple and one homer in 361 at-bats in the minors. Boston's plan is to send Iglesias back to Triple-A this year, but he would take over at shortstop if Stephen Drew's concussion woes put him on the DL.

Jose Iglesias hit a two-run homer Saturday in one of his two at-bats against the Rays.

Iglesias is a pretty awful hitter, but he's not completely without pop; it's just that he doesn't center the ball up nearly enough right now. He has a total of two homers in 979 career minor league at-bats, plus one more in 74 at-bats as a major leaguer. The Red Sox are expected to send him back to Triple-A after signing Stephen Drew to play shortstop.
