The calf soreness that removed Austin Hays from Saturday night’s game in Kansas City has landed him on the 10-day injured list.
Hays was diagnosed with a left calf strain, with the IL move retroactive to yesterday. He’s 5-for-45 with two RBIs.
The at-bats have improved of late, with a hit in each of his last two games and some loud outs.
Manager Brandon Hyde kept Hays out of yesterday's lineup. Asked later about Hays' status, Hyde said, "We're going to kind of see how he is tomorrow."
Hays hasn't caught a break since reporting to camp. He had a stomach virus in spring training and was under the weather in Pittsburgh.
