Red Sox's Steve Pearce: Transferred to 60-day IL

Pearce (knee) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Sunday.

This move clears a 40-man roster spot for Chris Owings, whose contract was purchased in a corresponding move. Pearce recently suffered a partially torn PCL while rehabbing a back injury. The partial tear will not require surgery but could mean the end of his 2019 campaign.
