BOSTON (AP) -Red Sox right fielder J.D. Drew left the game against the Toronto Blue Jays after three innings Sunday due to tightness in his lower back.
Drew, who walked in his only at-bat and was doubled off second on Alex Cora’s line drive to center field, has been slumping. He entered the game with just six hits in his last 31 at-bats.
Jeff Bailey, recalled from Triple-A Pawtucket for the third time this season on Thursday, replaced Drew in right field to start the fourth inning with the Blue Jays leading 8-0.
Drew was moved back into the middle of the order on Saturday night after hitting leadoff for about three weeks while Jacoby Ellsbury was struggling.
