BOSTON - Rays first baseman Carlos Pena has a fractured index finger on his left hand and is being placed on the 15-day disabled list today.

Pena's finger was was broken during his first at-bat in Tuesday night's 7-4 loss to the Red Sox, when he was hit in the hand by Boston pitcher Justin Masterson. Pena remained in the game and later hit a run-scoring scoring double and a home run.

The Rays said their medical staff will re-evaluate the injury in two weeks, so Pena's stay on the DL could be extended beyond 15 days.

Justin Ruggiano was called up today from AAA Durham and will be available for tonight's game at Fenway Park.
