The Red Sox will place Tim Wakefield on the disabled list with a lower back strain. In his place, Clay Buchholz will be recalled from Triple-A Pawtucket and will start Wednesday's game against the Rangers. Wakefield tweaked his back in a recent side session. He has been placed on the D.L. retroactive to July 18. Red Sox manager Terry Francona told reporters that the injury is not to the knuckleballer's shoulder.
Buchholz, who earned the win in the first Red Sox game of the second half, will be pitching with four days of rest. He allowed one run in 5.2 innings against the Blue Jays on Friday.
