Right fielder Wilyer Abreu was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

The Red Sox recalled catcher Tyler Heineman from Triple-A Worcester, according to a source.

Bobby Dalbec, who was recalled from Worcester on Sunday, will start in right field Tuesday against the Braves. Dalbec has never appeared in a game in the outfield in the majors but he has made 14 starts in right field for Worcester this year. He also started 36 games in right field for Worcester last season.

Abreu (right ankle sprain) injured himself when he tripped down the dugout stairs late in Sunday’s game.

Abreu has emerged as an AL Rookie of the Year candidate. The 24-year-old is batting .272 with a .344 on-base percentage, .485 slugging percentage, .829 OPS, six homers, 14 doubles, two triples, 22 RBI, 26 runs, seven steals, 19 walks and 49 strikeouts in 53 games (189 plate appearances).

Heineman is 0 for 1 with a hit by pitch in one game with Boston this year. The 32-year-old has batted .235 with a .398 on-base percentage, .338 slugging percentage, .736 OPS, two homers and one double in 22 games (90 plate appearances) for Worcester.

More roster moves might be coming. Reliever Zack Kelly is on his way in case Chris Martin needs to be placed on the IL. It’s unclear what Martin is dealing with but he has had issues with his non-pitching shoulder this year.

THE RED SOX are hopeful outfielder Tyler O’Neill’s stint on the injured list will end Wednesday.

Red Sox Manager Alex Cora said during his weekly appearance on WEEI’s “Jones & Mego With Arcand” that O’Neill began a rehab assignment with the Worcester Red Sox on Tuesday night at Polar Park. He started as the designated hitter and went 0 for 3.

“And then hopefully he’s fine and he’ll be with us tomorrow. That’s that’s the goal. We knew that it was going to be short-term, but we really want him to go down there, at least get four at-bats. If he needs eight, he gets eight. But just to get your feet wet in the batter’s box, compete at that level and then be ready for us.”

O’Neill was placed on the 10-day injured list with knee inflammation on May 29. He admitted it was something he had “been grinding through” before the IL stint.

“Felt it more so on that last swing that I took kind of coming out of the box,” he said of the injury. “Feel like my cleat got caught or something in the batter’s box there. So it didn’t feel too good.”
