Pirates placed OF Jose Tabata on the 15-day disabled list with a left quadriceps strain. Tabata suffered the strain in the first inning of Sunday's game against the Red Sox while legging out a bunt single. The 22-year-old had to be carted off the field and could need more than two weeks off. He'll leave behind a .265/.351/.354 batting line, three home runs and 14 stolen bases. Alex Presley should play left field for the Pirates in Tabata's absence.
