The Red Sox placed Chang on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left hamate fracture. He's scheduled to undergo surgery and Thursday and is expected to miss around six weeks, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The injury Chang suffered in Monday's game against the Orioles comes at an unfortunate time, as he had recently carved out a regular role at shortstop for the Red Sox. With Chang now headed for surgery, Enrique Hernandez is expected to move over from second base to take on the bulk of the starts at shortstop. Christian Arroyo and Triple-A Worcester call-up Enmanuel Valdez are the primary candidates to pick up reps at the keystone.

Chang (wrist) is expected to undergo further testing Tuesday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
EDGE Analysis
Chang left Monday's matchup with a left wrist injury, and manager Alex Cora noted after the game that the 27-year-old was still in pain. Cora stated that the team expects to add a player to the major-league roster prior to Tuesday night's action, which likely means Chang is headed to the injured list.

Chang left Monday's game against the Orioles after suffering a left wrist injury, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
EDGE Analysis
The severity of Chang's injury is unclear at this time, but this would be a brutal blow to Boston's infield depth if he's forced to miss significant time. Christian Arroyo replaced the 27-year-old at shortstop.

Chang is starting at shortstop and batting ninth for the Red Sox on Monday in Baltimore, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Christian Arroyo is over his hamstring issue, but once again it will be Chang and Enrique Hernandez forming Boston's double-play combo. Chang has an .840 OPS with three home runs over his last seven games and could be the team's best defensive option at short.

Chang started at shortstop and went 2-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 12-5 win over the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Chang is 4-for-15 with two home runs, four RBI and three runs scored during this four-game run as a starter. Enrique Hernandez opened the season as the everyday shortstop, but multiple errors (minus-5 OAA) early and a need to cover injuries in center field and second base have opened the door for Chang, who has gotten the most out of his six hits and .146 batting average (three HR, eight RBI, five runs).
