Chavis (shoulder) will be shut down for five or six days before resuming baseball activities, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Chavis suffered an AC joint sprain while making a catch in last Tuesday's loss to the Royals. While attempting to play through the injury, Chavis went hitless in 13 at-bats. "If I could manage the pain, it's fine, but if it's changing my swing or changing how I go about fielding a groundball, that's when it becomes a problem," he said. The Red Sox anticipate the rookie won't need much more than the 10-day minimum.
