Boston Red Sox third baseman Caleb Durbin exited Wednesday's game against the Colorado Rockies in Denver due to a left pinky finger subluxation. The injury occurred in the third inning as Durbin attempted to beat a relay throw while sliding into first base. He was replaced at third base by Marcelo Mayer, who shifted from shortstop. This infield shuffle also saw Anthony Seigler move from second to third base and Andruw Monasterio move from shortstop to second base.
Durbin, who is 26 years old, went hitless in two at-bats before his departure. He has been a contributing player in his first season with Boston, recording a .218 batting average with five home runs, 30 RBIs, and seven stolen bases over 71 games played.
