The Los Angeles Dodgers placed outfielderChris Taylor on the 10-day injured list on Monday with a left forearm fracture.

The move came one day after Taylor exited a game against the Boston Red Sox after getting hit near his left wrist by a Heath Hembree fastball in the 11th inning.

X-rays taken after the game were negative, but Taylor had a second examination on Monday that revealed the break.

Taylor is batting .261 with eight home runs and 41 RBIs in 90 games this season.Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said he expects Taylor to return this season.

In a separate move, the Dodgers recalled outfielder Matt Beaty from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday.
