Robert Deutsch / USA TODAY Sports

Shane Victorino exited Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Angels after experiencing calf tightness in his left leg.

The injury is the same one that kept the Boston Red Sox outfielder out of the lineup Thursday and Friday, and upon his return to the lineup, he didn't even make it to three innings before re-aggravating the injury

Mookie Betts pinch hit for Victorino in the bottom half of the inning, while Rusney Castillo moved to right field.
