Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Steven Souza was placed on the 15-day disabled list Saturday because of a broken left hand, according to 620 WDAE AM. Souza exited Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox with what was believed to be a hand contusion, but an X-ray revealed a fracture. The injury could sideline Souza for the remainder of the season, which would leave a combination of Grady Sizemore, Brandon Guyer and Joey Butler to fill the void in right field. Souza was recently activated from the disabled list after recovering from a hand injury, and it is unclear if the recent issue complicated the previous one. He is hitting just .212 this season but has hit 15 home runs and stolen 10 bases in 88 games, his first year in the majors playing more than 21, which he did last season with the Washington Nationals.
