BOSTON STRONG -
THE ROAD TO REDEMPTION
Jose Iglesias is hot hot hot

June 24, 2013 ... No game scheduled.  The Red Sox are expected to place lefthander Franklin Morales on the disabled list with a strained pectoral muscle. He was examined by team doctors.  Shane Victorino, who left Sunday's game in Detroit with a sore lower back, was feeling better and is expected to remain on the active roster.

A remarkable run continued in Detroit for Jose Iglesias. The 23-year-old infielder started all four games and was 6 for 14 with two triples.  Iglesias is hitting .426 with 11 extra-base hits, 18 runs, and seven RBIs. He has reached base in 30 of his 32 games with a plate appearance, including the last 26.  Iglesias does not yet have enough plate appearances to qualify for leading the league, but his .479 on-base percentage leads all major leaguers with at least 100 plate appearances, as does his batting average.  Among American League rookies, Iglesias's 46 hits are second to Chicago third baseman Conor Gillaspie, who has 48. Iglesias is tied for third in runs by rookies in the AL.
