Kiner-Falefa started at second base and went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double and two RBI in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Orioles.

Kiner-Falefa stroked a two-out, two-run double in the seventh inning to account for Boston's final offense. He entered the starting lineup as Nick Sogard moved from second to third base to cover for a slumping Caleb Durbin. With Durbin returning to the hot corner Sunday, per Christopher Smith of MassLive.com, Sogard moves back to the keystone and Kiner-Falefa returns to the bench. Kiner-Falefa has appeared in four of five games since being activated from the IL on Sept. 1, but only two of those outings have come as a starter.

The Red Sox reinstated Kiner-Falefa (forearm) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

The 31-year-old has been sidelined since mid-June due to a stress reaction in his right forearm, but he's rejoining the Red Sox with MLB rosters expanding to 28 players Tuesday. Kiner-Falefa has a .277/.344/.361 slash line with two homers and seven steals through 47 games this season and should work as a utility infielder down the stretch.

Kiner-Falefa (forearm) could be activated from the 60-day injured list during Boston's series in Miami, which begins Monday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Kiner-Falefa, who has been on the IL since June 19 due to stress reaction in his right forearm, spent last week on a rehab assignment at Triple-A Worcester, going 1-for-13 over four games. Once activated, Kiner-Falefa is expected to step back into a utility role, as teammate Trevor Story (sports hernia) could also come off the injured list during the Marlins series and reclaim the starting job at shortstop.

Kiner-Falefa (forearm) will start his rehab assignment Wednesday with Triple-A Worcester, Sean McAdam of MassLive.com reports.

Kiner-Falefa was diagnosed with a stress reaction in his left forearm in late June, prompting the Red Sox to place the veteran utility man on the injured list. He was cleared to begin a hitting progression shortly after the All-Star break, and Kiner-Falefa is ready to take the next step in his recovery program by embarking on a rehab assignment. It looks like the Red Sox are set to receive significant reinforcements for the final weeks of the regular season, as both Roman Anthony (finger) and Trevor Story (sports hernia) have also been cleared to start their respective rehab assignments.

The Red Sox transferred Kiner-Falefa (forearm) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Aug 11Rotowire

In other moves Tuesday, the Red Sox reinstated and activated Adley Rutschman (wrist) from the 10-day injured list, while they designated Jake Rogers for assignment. Kiner-Falefa has not played since June 18 while recovering from a stress reaction in his left forearm, and his eligibility to return has been pushed to Aug. 19.
