The New York Yankees placed second baseman Rougned Odor on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a left knee sprain.

An MRI reportedly revealed no structural damage, according to ESPN.

Odor, 27, was removed in the sixth inning of Tuesday night’s 7-3 win against Houston after colliding with Astros catcher Martin Maldonado at home plate.

Acquired in a trade with Texas in April, Odor is batting .164 (10-for-61) with four homers and 11 RBIs in 19 games this season.

The Yankees recalled right-hander Albert Abreu from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to replace Odor on the 26-man roster.
