Red Sox's Yoeilin Cespedes: Diagnosed with broken bone
Single-A Salem placed Yoeilin Cespedes on the 7-day injured list Wednesday with a broken hamate bone in his left hand that will likely require surgery, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.Cespedes was recently promoted from the rookie-level Florida Complex League to Salem but experienced soreness in the hand before he could make his debut for the full-season affiliate. The issue lingered, and testing revealed the hamate fracture. If Cespedes opts for surgery, he could be at risk of missing the rest of the season. Recovery from hamate bone surgery typically requires 6-to-8 weeks, and Salem's season ends the first week of September. He had been one of the standout performers in the organization this season, raising his profile significantly.

Red Sox's Yoeilin Cespedes: Bumped to Single-A
Yoeilin Cespedes was promoted from the Florida Complex League to Single-A Salem on Tuesday.He hasn't gotten into a game yet, which is a bit odd, so perhaps he's dealing with something, although there has been no reporting on that front. Cespedes slashed .319/.400/.615 with five home runs and an 18.1 percent strikeout rate in 25 games in the FCL. He split time between second base and shortstop, but considering he's just an average runner now and is listed at 5-foot-8, 181 pounds, it seems likely that he'll end up at the keystone long term.
