BOSTON (AP) ― J.D. Drew has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a lower back strain, leaving the Boston Red Sox without their All-Star right fielder as they head into a tight pennant race.

The move was made Tuesday, retroactive to Aug. 18, and it opened a roster spot for right-hander Tim Wakefield. The knuckleballer was activated from the DL to start the opener of a three-game series against New York, Boston's final regular-season visit to Yankee Stadium.

The Red Sox also called up infielder-outfielder Joe Thurston, purchasing his contract from Triple-A Pawtucket. Right-hander Chris Smith was optioned to Pawtucket.
