» The Phillies PHILADELPH­I A placed outfielder Roman Quinn on the 10-day injured list with a right groin strain.

Quinn was hurt trying to beat out a grounder in the eighth inning of the Phillies’ 8-4 victory over the San Diego Padres on Friday night. He is batting .213 with three doubles, four homers and 11 RBIS in 44 games.

To replace Quinn, Philadelph­ia activated right-handed reliever Jared Hughes after claiming him off waivers from Cincinnati earlier this week. Hughes went 3-4 with a 4.10 ERA in 47 games with the Reds this season. inflammati­on.

Tean president Dave Dombrowski said that Sale had an MRI and the team’s doctors said the results revealed inflammati­on.

Dombrowski also said Sale felt stiffness after his start Tuesday in Cleveland and didn’t tell the team until Friday, so he was sent for the test. In addition to the team’s doctors, Dombrowski said Sale will also have the results looked at by orthopedis­t Dr. James Andrews, but it wasn’t expected to be until Monday. Dombrowski wasn’t certain if Sale would visit Andrews.

The Red Sox said Sale was not available for comment.

Struggling through a mediocre season, Sale is 6-11 with a 4.40 ERA, but he was coming off two solid starts in which he combined for 25 strikeouts — including the 2,000th of his career — and allowed only three runs in 14M innings.

To fill his spot on the roster, the club recalled right-hander Ryan Brasier from Triple-a Pawtucket. — The Associated Press
