The Boston Red Sox continue to have some bad luck with injuries, as they announced that outfielder Tyler O'Neill is dealing with right knee soreness.

Boston lifted O'Neill from the game in the top of the eighth inning of their Saturday loss to the Milwaukee Brewers 6-3, and they replaced him with Rob Refsnyder.

It's unclear exactly when O'Neill suffered the injury, but he did make an impressive catch in left field up against the Green Monster earlier in the contest.

O'Neill entered Saturday hitting .241 with an .859 OPS, 17 RBIs and a team-leading 11 home runs.
