EDGE Analysis

The Red Sox lost left-fielder Chris Young to a hamstring injury Thursday and placed him on the disabled list, leaving themselves a little short on outfielders. Ryan LaMarre replaced Young and was then pinch hit for by Shaw, who has played a total of 27 innings in the outfield as a pro.
