One week after jamming his right shoulder while diving into second base as a pinch runner, pitcher Steven Wright was placed on the 15-day disabled list, the Red Sox announced Sunday.

Wright missed a start last week but had said he was "50-50" to make his next one, scheduled for Thursday night in Detroit, depending on the outcome of a bullpen session Monday. But with the inflammation in Wright's shoulder not subsiding as quickly as he hoped, the team decided to shut him down for a few days. The DL move is retroactive to Aug. 8, leaving Wright eligible to pitch as soon as Aug. 23.

The Red Sox also announced first baseman Hanley Ramirez will be placed on the three-day bereavement list.
