SEATTLE (AP) — The Boston Red Sox placed utility infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa on the injured list Saturday with left forearm inflammation.

Kiner-Falefa underwent an MRI after missing Friday night’s game against the Mariners. He told reporters before that game that the arm has been bothering him for more than two weeks and felt worse after the flight to Seattle.

Kiner-Falefa, 31, is batting .277 with two home runs, 13 RBIs and seven stolen bases this season, playing every infield position. He has started 31 games for the Red Sox, and 21 of those starts have come at second base.

Boston recalled Anthony Seigler from Triple-A Worcester.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Cue the trumpet. Edwin Díaz is back to close out games for the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 32-year-old right-hander came off the injured list Wednesday after missing 85 games, having had arthroscopic surgery to remove loose bodies in his elbow in April. “We just got a lot better,” manager Dave Roberts said. Fans were on their feet cheering when Díaz entered in the ninth to Timmy Trumpet's “Narcos.” He gave up two hits and one run while earning his fifth save of the season in a 4-2 victory over the Seattle Mariners. His four-seam fastball touched 98 mph.
