The Boston Red Sox have placed left fielder Carl Crawford on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left hamstring, per ESPN Boston.
"I think the medical people thought at best it was going to be 10 to 14 days [recovery time],'' [manager Terry] Francona said of Crawford, who was diagnosed with a Grade 1 strain, the least severe. "I called him and talked to him this morning, he gets it.”
To take Crawford's roster spot, the Red Sox have recalled outfielder Josh Reddick from Triple-A.
This will be the second stint with the Red Sox this season for Reddick, who had five hits in 13 at-bats and four runs batted in during his first stint.
After getting off to a horrible start (.155, one home run and six RBIs in April), Crawford was hitting .295 with five homers and 25 RBIs in May and June.
On the season, Crawford is hitting .243 with six home runs, 31 RBIs and eight stolen bases.

Carl Crawford dropped from 3rd to 7th in lineup today
Two games (and losses) into the season, the Boston Red Sox are making a notable adjustment to their lineup.
Left fielder Carl Crawford, who's 0-for-7 through two games, is moving from third to seventh in today's lineup for their game against the Rangers.
"Looking at him, he's obviously trying too hard," [Red Sox manager Terry] Francona said, per ESPNBoston.com. "As soon as he gets on base and creates havoc, he'll loosen up and the real Carl comes out."
Meanwhile, first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, who's 5-for-9 so far, and third baseman Kevin Youkilis will move up to the third and fourth spots in the batting order, respectively.
Of course, this is a temporary move. But too soon?

Six steals for Carl Crawford today
Boston Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek should be ashamed of himself. It's as if he were giving bases away today.
Varitek allowed Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Carl Crawford to steal six bases in today's game.
In total, the Rays set a team record by stealing eight bases on Varitek.
Catcher Michel Hernandez got his first career steal and shortstop Jason Bartlett stole a base as well.
