The Tampa Bay Rays placed center fielder Jose Siri on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a right hamstring strain.
The club announced the move before the Rays posted an 11-0 victory over the Oakland Athletics. To fill the vacant roster spot, Tampa Bay recalled infielder/outfielder Vidal Brujan from its Triple-A club in Durham, North Carolina.
Siri, 27, helped the Rays to a 7-0 start. He made a running catch in the eighth inning of Friday's 9-5 home victory over the Oakland Athletics, crashing into the wall after tracking down a drive from Seth Brown.
His club moved to 8-0 on Saturday, extending Major League Baseball's best start in 20 years behind Jeffrey Springs' seven innings of three-hit ball and Randy Arozarena's four RBIs.
Acquired from the Houston Astros at last season's trade deadline, Siri is hitting .318. He was 1-for-4 with a run in Friday's 9-5 win over Oakland.
Brujan, 25, was 4-for-17 with a double in his first four games at Durham. In 62 major league games with the Rays over the previous two seasons, he has batted .150 with three home runs and 18 RBIs.
