EDGE Analysis

Manager Alex Cora said Lin will be "out for a while," but felt the injury is not as bad as it initially appeared. Eduardo Nunez was recently activated off the injured list and steps into the role Lin had been filling.

Lin (knee) will be placed on the injured list Saturday, Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lin suffered a sprained left knee during Friday's game against the White Sox, and the issue will force him to miss at least 10 days. According to Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe, the infielder will fly back to Boston for further evaluation, at which point a more concrete timetable for his return will hopefully emerge. In a corresponding move, Eduardo Nunez (back) will be activated from the injured list prior to Saturday's game.

Lin was removed from Friday's game against the White Sox with left knee soreness, Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lin will start at second base and bat eighth Saturday against the Rays, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though Michael Chavis received more attention of the Boston's two infield callups Friday, it's Lin who has entered the starting nine in the Red Sox's subsequent two games. While Chavis offers intriguing power, he's rather inexperienced at the keystone and may rank only as an insurance option at the position while the Red Sox contend with a slew of injuries. That may leave Lin to act as the team's primary option at second base until one of Dustin Pedroia (knee), Brock Holt (eye) or Eduardo Nunez (back) is activated.

Lin was called up from Triple-A Pawtucket on Friday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lin returns to the Red Sox after a brief stay at Triple-A with Dustin Pedroia (knee) and Eduardo Nunez (back) both on the injured list. Lin and top-prospect Michael Chavis -- who was also promoted Friday -- are the likeliest candidates to fill in at second base for Boston.

The Red Sox optioned Lin to Triple-A Pawtucket on Tuesday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Dustin Pedroia (knee) returning from the 10-day injured list to make his season debut in Tuesday's home opener versus the Blue Jays, Eduardo Nunez will transition into the utility role that had been Lin's domain in recent days. The 25-year-old Lin appeared in just one game during his brief stay in Boston but should take on an everyday role upon returning to Pawtucket.
